The European Union as an Emerging Global Actor (Chulalongkorn code 2003681) and The External Relations of the European Union (Chulalongkorn code 2003604) are two core compulsory courses for students wishing to pursue a Master In European Union Studies (MAEUS) at Chulalongkorn University. The interdisciplinary focus makes these courses attractive to students majoring in related subjects and facilitates their understanding of EU foreign affairs, especially in relation to CFSP, CSDP and Development Policy. The EU is the world's wealthiest region, biggest development aid actor and an influential trading partner with Thailand. Yet, the EU is often misunderstood in Thailand, requiring a unique and multi-faceted teaching approach. Lecturers from a variety of disciplines and academic levels from the MAEUS programme teach into this course: Assistant Prof Dr Natthanan Kunnamas, is the course coordinator and provides lectures to students. Other lecturers include Prof Martin Holland from the National Centre for Research on Europe (NZ) underlining the importance of international academic cooperation in this teaching approach. At the end of these courses, students will display a good understanding of the structure and function of the European Union, its key challenges and its role and impact in the world, particularly in relation to foreign affairs. These proposed modules are designed to build capacity in the study of the European Union in Thailand, as well as to ensure continued sustainability of the Master in European Union Studies at Chulalongkorn University.
