Abstract

EU Communication and Information Studies represent an opportunity for curricula development within the European universities. At the same time, this new field stands for an important challenge to make human resources able to settle and use the tools for the internal and external cross-border communication of the EU and be involved in the constructive neighborhood relations. There are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches that prove the need for a more flexible and integrative approach of European issues. Any of the fields identified by our evaluation comprise courses that are fundamental for the field of EU studies, in order to strengthen the specific competences and skills of the students who are willing to understand such complexity and to work within the competitive European system.
