When I started the minor. It was very interesting for me. Because I had totally different educational background. In this minor most of the students are from the same line of study either from international businesses study or from business related courses. So it was for me like a new world to discover. In the beginning it seemed to me very fascinating . Especially the first four weeks. We received all sorts of information about, how the hole system of the European Union and the system of governance worked. Also how the European union legislations are made. We had lectures in economy in order to help us to understand the economical issues related to the European union integration policies.
The diversity in the study EUP, make it to me very interesting. The EUP course consist mostly of group meeting, lectures from many visitors and projects. In the project we have to work in group to achieve certain task, that is given to us be our tutor Mr. Joost Frencken. Every group’ tutor has a meeting every week with group. Most of the tasks are related to the topic or the subject of the week. Like decision making, European regional projects, EU subsidies and the problem of public procurement. During this project, we get many lectures and training sessions from visitors. Most of the invited visitor lecturers are working in EU. They are directly involved with the topics of our project.
During EUP course we have to take a few exams. Two multiple choice midterm exams. One of them is the progress test. We take it in the middle of the first period of our course. It count for 10 percent of the total degree of the minor. The other one is the TG participation test. It is at the middle of the second period and count for 15 percent of the total degree. TG is obliges in order to be able to participate in the Oral exam.
In the end of the first period. We have to do the written exam. This exam covers all the topics that we had investigated during the first period. It counts for about 25 percent. In the end of the minor course, we have to take an oral exam, that counts for the biggest part of the minor EUP grad. It count almost 50 percent of the total grad of the EUP minor.
The grades are divided by 25 percent for midterm exams, 25 percent written exam and 50 percent oral exam. For the tasks that have been executed during the minor course. They are given a separate grad. They are divided between group projects 60 percents and the paper topic that is individually executed as homework about 40 percent of the total grad.
One week before the first midterm exam. Our tutor Mr Frencken posted to us an old midterm exam as an example to help us to prepare for the actual exam. This exam cover the material we had in the first four weeks of the minor. These subjects are European decision making process, European regional polices, EU subsidies and the problem of public procurement and convergence and divergence, also we had some subject from the European law book “Unlocking EU law” like subsidiary principle and antidiscrimination law cases. But the midterm exam we did, was not exactly the same as the example posted to us on blackboard. It was supposed to be multiple choice. But surprisingly half the exam came an open questions.
Two weeks later we had a written exam. We had a very short time to prepare for it. We have been informed by our teacher Mr. Franken. That it will be an open questions exam, and it will be mostly from, what we had received during the lessons. We studied the subjects and the questions that had been handled during these lessons. We focused on the notes, that we made during the lessons. But unfortunately nearly all the questions came more generally. It was more like a shock to me as like other student. Very few student past the exam. Most students had very low grads.
In the beginning of the second period. We had focused on different type of topics. Which are more related to finance like mergers and acquisitions, hostile take-overs. We handled different cases related to this subject. It was very difficult subject to me. Because I had no background information about it. I had to struggle and worked very hard in order to stay at the same level as my colleagues. With all the effort I spend on this subjects. I managed to stay at the same level as my colleagues. The last exam I had. It was the TG participation test. The questions of this test were multiple choices most of these questions were focused on the mergers cases between large cooperation’s in the EU. and the legal aspects about it.
The last exam that we still has to take before the end of this minor. Is the oral exam for all the information had given to us in the minor course. It will be an interview for a half an hour. The questions that will be asked in this interview, is mostly about the paper topic subjects. That we have wrote during the minor.
My opinion about the minor. The minor is very interesting for me. Especially I come form a totally different study field, in which I have to sit the whole time with the computer, trying to programme a level-less conveyers or factory machines and my teachers has just to give me a tasks without asking me about my own opinion, with this minor I can discuss everything. I have done with my colleagues and my teachers. Also I have all the time direct interact with them.
