Research Themes
The MPhil/PhD in European Studies welcomes applications for multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary research on Europe. Without being prescriptive or proscriptive as regards areas of research, some useful guidance is provided by the three themes of our taught MSc programmes, as these are also areas of research concentration by the current Faculty. The three broad themes are:
-
European Political Economy

EU Politics, Law and Policy

2006/07 student: Simona Milio from Milazzo, Italy
 "LSE is recognised worldwide as a leading university. Being part of such a challenging institution has been my main inspiration. Similarly, the European Institute is a leading international centre for the study of contemporary Europe. I have just completed a PhD in European Studies. This programme has allowed me not only to broaden my knowledge in the area of European issues, but also to undertake numerous research skills workshops and gained considerable knowledge of research techniques, statistical analysis and information technology. Studying at LSE is the most amazing experience one could possibly wish for. Being at LSE makes you realise that you are in the centre not only of London but also of the world. The diversity of students and academics keeps you updated with everything that happens around the globe. Studying at LSE has challenged me both mentally and socially. Since being at LSE I have joined different associations and societies, and I have been involved in the organisation of various events, which ultimately has raised my self-confidence and awareness of my capability, not only as a student but also as an individual. After my PhD I intend to further my academic career. Being at LSE has boosted my interest and passion towards performing research activities. I have realised the added value of such a career in terms of contributing to the social, political and economic development of the world we live in."
