The aim of the training of graduates of the European Studies programme is to acquire knowledge of the basic categories of political science, European law and economics in relation to the processes of European integration and international relations. The graduate is oriented in the basic concepts and theories related to political and economic processes within Europe, which he/she can apply in the analysis of internal and foreign policy. The graduate is prepared to pursue a Master's degree in European Studies and related academic disciplines. S/he has an overview of the possibilities of basic quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches and methods, and is familiar with and can apply the principles of academic writing, research and comparison in his/her work.  

The basic characteristic of a graduate of the Bachelor's degree is the ability to systematically acquire and process theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field of interdisciplinary research of European integration processes and his/her readiness to work in various sectors of public administration and politics. Graduates are also able to work with national and international databases (e.g. slovlex, eur-lex, UN document database) and to work in the media field. 

Graduates are able to scientifically verify knowledge in the fields of political science, international relations and European studies.  The graduate is characterised by independent, critical and analytical thinking, has experience of working in a team and consistently takes social, scientific and ethical aspects into account in his/her studies and research.  

The objectives of the study programme are in line with the long-term development strategy of the Comenius University in Bratislava and with the objectives of the Long-term Plan of the Faculty of Social and Economic Science of the Comenius University in Bratislava. The application of the English language in the teaching process, as well as the presence of foreign lecturers and researchers working in the programme, contributes to the internationalisation of studies, improves the conversational skills of the students, increases the competence of the graduates of the study programme and enables them to continue their studies also at renowned foreign universities.
