It is the training of graduate students, masters ( specifically, the Master of Laws in this case is designed as a separate program ) and research in economics, history, law, political science and social sciences dedicated.

Formation

After plans for a European university, which came from the early days of the European Union, had been discarded, the Education Ministers of the EU Member States in 1971 agreed on the creation of a European University Institute in lieu of a comprehensive university. 1972 signed all six former EU Member States a convention on the establishment of the University Institute in Florence. The teaching and research operations began in 1976. Most of today's EU Member States participate in the Graduate Institute.

Orientation

The faculties of the European University Institute cover the following range of subjects: economics, history, political science, law and social sciences. In all these subjects is an approximately four-year doctoral program with completion of Ph.D. offered in trade law since 1984 and a one-year master's program. In principle, only postgraduates are permitted. The doctoral program in Economics is a partner in the European Doctoral Program in Quantitative Economics. Sometimes European issues will be given a special status in the programs. Doctoral and post- doctoral students from countries of the EU have access to a variety of scholarships. The teachers are recruited mainly from (all ) Europe. Despite its location on a hill outside Florence in the Italian region of Tuscany, the University Institute as an international organization is independent states and therefore not to be regarded as an Italian university.
