Jean Monnet Module
Overview
Welcome to the Website of the Jean Monnet Module JMPOLI311 (main applicant: Amy Verdun).
The University of Victoria is pleased to have been awarded a Jean Monnet Module. Learn more about this program. This grant supports the delivery of EUS 311 and POLI 311 - "Governments and Politics in Europe" once a year over three years, 2024-27. This is a newly cross-listed course which focuses on contemporary policy issues and the process of European integration. The Module offers the instructors an opportunity to redesign the course and bring European Studies and Political Science closer together. The funds will also facilitate external speakers and provide funds for students to attend the European Study Tour and Internship Program (EUSTIP). Explore details about this course.

If you are a student who has not taken European Studies or Political Science and wish to join this course please approach the instructor early in your program planning and ensure you have taken the required prerequisite.
