Mobile Study
The Crossways in European Humanities Master is a two-year Master programme with the possibility, for suitably qualified applicants, of direct entry into the 2nd year.
Two Year programme
The mobility tracks for each student involve 3 of the 7 universities of the Consortium. Students spend the 1st and 3rd semesters in the SAME university, and the 2nd and 4th semesters in TWO other universities of the Consortium.
The two-year mobility pattern is: Sem 1 -Uni A. Sem 2 – Uni B. Sem 3 – Uni A. Sem 4 – Uni C.
One Year Programme
Students entering directly into the 2nd year spend the two semesters in two different universities of the Consortium.
The one-year mobility pattern is: Sem 3 – Uni A. Sem 4 – Uni B – "Trailing semester" (i.e. the period stretching from June to December of the same year to be used for the final Dissertation): either or home.
NB - Students choosing to spend a semester in one of the two British universities may not spend a second semester in the other British university, i.e. students may choose a mobility track comprising either Saint Andrews or Sheffield, but not both.
Mobility track: which Universities, which courses?
Which courses to combine, at which Universities, and in which progression?
- University A (sems 1 and 3): you go there twice; so it should give you a solid foundation and a basis for your dissertation
- University B (sem 2): you do as much work there in one semester, as at Uni A in two (sems 1 and 3)
- University C (sem 4): is also important: you need to have the language of that country to a working level, but are committed essentially to a dissertation which can be written in your strongest language.
Remember: each University has its own perspective on the common theme (Crossways) and the overarching agenda (discovering the meaning of being European).
