The Graduate Institute of
European Studies (afterwards “the Institute”) established in 1971 is the first
institute that offers master-programme for European Studies in Taiwan. The Institute has
focused its research on the process of the European Integration. The courses cover a wide
range of studies including the history of the European movement, the interaction of the
European Institutions, the evolution of the European policies and the external relations
of the EU. It aims to cultivate well-trained researchers on EU affairs. The achievements
of the Institute are highly recommended by the European Commission. In 1979 the European
Commission funded the first European Info Centre (EDI) in Taiwan to set up in the
Institute. It is still the only EDI in Taiwan.
Established in 1971, the Graduate Institute of European Studies offers a variety of
courses for the master’s degree (average two to four years of study) in the fields of
European Integration and European Union studies, such as European politics, security,
economic, social and cultural affairs. From
2000 on, our Institute offers Ph.D. Programs of the same fields as master’s degree.
There
are 133 full-time students in the Institute of European Affairs. All of them have completed their undergraduate
studies in the fields of Economics, History, Sociology, English, French, German, Spanish
and so on.
The eight full-time faculty members of the Institute represent
diverse academic backgrounds such as agriculture, economics, history, political science.
All of them have various research interests in the fields of European Integration. They
all hold Ph. D. degrees from major European Universities, for instance, University of
Berlin, Bonn, Germany, Spain, Vienna and so on. |
