Academic programme

腾达娱乐Students follow the academic programme of the department in which they are enrolled, with the following modifications.

Introductory course

Before the start of the academic year, EPPA students follow a two-week compulsory ‘introductory course’ in the other discipline: political scientists in economics, with an emphasis on micro-economics, and economists in European politics and law.
