programme, among them Bernard Steunenberg, Asa Lundgren, Richard Griffiths, Theo Toonen, Julia Rapp, Bas van Bockel, Karen Anderson,Antoaneta Dimitrova, Jean Pirlot, Alexandra Ramos and Andrew Skudder...

The program has been designed to give students a thorough knowledge of the European Union integration, its institutions, systems, goals andfunctioning.

The Customs Union between Turkey and the EU, which was completed in 1996, has already made Turkey part of the European Single Market.

The program aims at providing the students with relevant necessary knowledge to handle the prospective situation where Turkey and the EU will become institutional partners.
