Located at the heart of the Western Balkans, the College of Europe in Tirana with its Master of Arts in European Transformation and Integration (ETI) offers an unmatched academic immersion into the complexities of the European Union’s enlargement process and the unique socio-political dynamics of Southeastern Europe. Designed for ambitious graduates in law, political science, economics, and other social science disciplines, as well as for those with a specific interest in the region, the programme goes far beyond traditional classroom learning by combining rigorous multidisciplinary coursework with an opening regional study trip, practical compact seminars, and a distinctive hands-on Simulation Game on EU accession negotiations.

Choosing ETI means joining a pioneering, highly diverse community of students and scholars right at the frontier of European integration. The curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to tackle today’s most pressing challenges, from the green and digital transitions to migration, regional security, and the rule of law, while integrating professional skills development and an intensive bilingual programme. By studying in Tirana, you will not only gain critical academic insights into European affairs, but you will also live the EU enlargement firsthand, building lifelong international friendships and preparing directly for leadership roles in public institutions, diplomacy, and the private sector.
