The European Union has been undergoing a continuous process of integration and at the same time expansion to include Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. In addition, the EU is having to undertake a greater role in international affairs. All this has enormous implications for the way it operates and the development of its law and policy-making processes. This means that there is increasing demand for people with expertise in the workings of the EU and a knowledge of European law in business, local and national levels of government and international organisations. This applies both to existing EU member states and also to those countries that need to work with the EU.

There are two versions of the MA European Law and Policy degree awarded by the University of Portsmouth:

• one is delivered entirely at Portsmouth (the information on this page refers to this route)
• the alternative is delivered jointly by the University of Portsmouth and The Hague University in the Netherlands. Those taking this route full time will spend the first semester in the Hague and the second semester in Portsmouth (please contact The Hague University directly for further details and to apply for this route - applications do not go through University of Portsmouth)
