Students with specialist knowledge of Europe have skills that are in increasingly high demand in both the German and international labour markets. For students looking to gain a supplementary qualification in European studies, Saarland University offers its Zertifikat Europaicum – a certificate in European studies that is unique in Germany. Students can individually select modules of interest to create a European focus to their degree programme – giving them invaluable insight into research areas and careers with a European dimension.

A central component of the Europaicum is the visiting professorship, which each year is dedicated to a specific European country and which enables academics and scholars from that country to visit the Saarbrücken campus. During the year, these guests will offer a variety of events and courses that cover subjects of current interest in the five specialist areas of the Zertifikat Europaicum and that illustrate and shed light on their own national perspective.

More information about the Zertifikat Europaicum is available here.
