The academic staff of the Department employs innovative and interactive methods to actively engage students in their studies, including discussions and teamwork. The teaching methodology of the Department is guided by several key principles: a scientific approach, which involves the use of modern analytical models, developed by our faculty members; accessibility ensuring that teaching aligns with the educational needs of the students; and a focus on helping students achieve their aspirations, taking into account their professional orientation and desire to gain expertise in the field of European integration. As part of the interdisciplinary training in the Master`s Degree Programme “European Integration”, students participate in micro-modeling exercises that simulate the Ukraine-EU convergence process, utilizing didactic innovations tailored to their individual interests.
