Are you interested in studying or conducting research in Europe? The Graduate Diploma in European Studies is taken in conjunction with a Master’s or Doctoral degree program at 91��ɫ. The diploma certifies that, in addition to having completed an advanced degree in a related discipline, a student has acquired special expertise about Europe.

Pursuing the Graduate Diploma in European Studies will present opportunities to develop expertise in an interdisciplinary field, exchange ideas with other students and professors across multiple disciplines, receive mentoring in academic research and professional skills from leading scholars, obtain hands-on experience through study, research or internships in Europe and present your work at national and international conferences and research colloquia.

“The involvement in the diploma allowed me to extend the global reach of my research. I cannot overstate my gratitude enough for the support and generous funding throughout the program.”

“I specialize on a topic in French political philosophy. It was out of question that I wanted to spend some time in France to gain a cultural perspective first-hand and to experience French research universities. Funding from the diploma made this possible.”
Kiana, MA graduate (2023)

recipient of the V.O. Stong Scholarship (2022)
