European studies is a field of study offered by many academic colleges and universities that focuses on the current development of European integration. It basically consists of a combination of several subjects, including European history, European law, economics and sociology. Most universities expand the subject to cover aspects that encompass Europe but not necessarily European integration, for example: European culture, European literature and European languages.

The study is a combination of humanities and social sciences. Disciplines used:

• Cultural studies
• Economics
• European languages
• History
• Law
• Linguistics
• Literature
• Public administration
• Political science
• Sociology

It is taught, for example, at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany; at the University of Coimbra and University of Lisbon in Portugal; at the University of Amsterdam, University of Twente and Universiteit Maastricht in the Netherlands; at Sofia University in Bulgaria; at Hong Kong Baptist University in Hong Kong; at Royal Holloway, University of London and the University of Bath in the United Kingdom; and the University of Delaware in the United States.
