Final essay | deadline by January 30

EC2U online compulsory courses are assessed mainly by submitting a final essay online. You can hand in the final paper of Discourses in Europe here.

An essay is a scientific text that addresses a research problem through theory and analysis. It should draw on research literature and scientific articles. Writing the essay allows students to engage with a research problem of interest, which has been identified during the classes, and might possibly aid to explore with regard to the broader research dissertation by the end of the two-year course .  The essay should be 3500-4000 words in length (approximately 10 pages), including references and the bibliography.

Please make sure to contact the respective lecturer beforehand, for supervision.
