An introduction to the political, economic and environmental issues of
European integration
for advanced Australian and New Zealand students
from 6 – 19 December 2009
In co-operation with the ASKO EUROPA-STIFTUNG (AES) and other renowned partners in Germany, France and Australia, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers scholarships for a two-week course dealing with the issue of the European Union in a broader sense. Two weeks, full of exciting opportunities for students – in the fields of law, politics, international relations, European studies or similar subjects – wanting to improve their understanding of contemporary European affairs and legislative regulations, organised by the European Academy Otzenhausen, the University of New England and the DAAD.
The course is open to all Australian and New Zealand undergraduates and graduates. The course will be held in English. The programme is comprised of a course on European affairs and study trips to Saarbruecken (University, City) and Trier, to Luxembourg (European Court of Justice, City), to Strasbourg (European Parliament, European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, City with Christmas Market), and to Germany’s former capital Bonn (visiting the DAAD).
The cost of the program, accommodation at the European Academy Otzenhausen (www.eao-otzenhausen.de), all meals and medical insurance for the time of the program (not for any private extensions) and all excursions are paid for by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and the ASKO-Europe Foundation. You must organize and pay for your own transport to Germany and back and whatever pocket money you might need. The DAAD will assist to the costs of your flight with a small contribution of EUR 370.- (approx. 650 AUD/ 820 NZD).
