Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of this module is to achieve a previous homogeneisation of the general knowledge of the european integration process, and about the aspects and elements that characterize the EU. By this module the students will obtain the basic and essential knowledge that will be the basis for their access and success to the modules of specialisation. This module is a reflection of one of the fundamental values of the master: the interdisciplinarity. For this reason this subject is considered as a mandatory module for all students.
