The EUTELL Master places the arts and humanities at the centre of education for democratic culture.
Our vision
EUTELL explores how English-language discourses shape and intersect with European cultural identities. The EUTELL Erasmus Mundus Joint Master is designed to highlight the diversity of European societies as a source of progress. It treats knowledge as a public good and the humanities as regulators of technological development. It explores how the European ethos has been shaped by Anglophone cultural discourses and examines the transmission of ideologies, media influence, and the mechanisms of social consent.
It follows an arts and humanities approach that integrates linguistics, literature, media, gender, ecocriticism, and digital humanities.
Our aims
- To train graduates as teachers, translators, cultural agents, and researchers able to contribute to intercultural dialogue and democratic values.
- To examine how Anglophone cultural discourses interact with other European traditions to shape a shared ethos.
- To equip students with critical, ethical, and creative skills for understanding cultural processes in a globalised world.

Mobility

Mobility develops plurilingual, intercultural, and democratic competences, while providing real-world perspectives .
Each mobility period = one semester (30 ECTS).
Flexible options allow shorter stays (15 ECTS) if students want to combine experiences across more than two locations.
