All citizens in the EU are granted a European Citizenship on top of their national citizenship. The European citizenship was formally established when written into the Treaty of Maastricht in 1993, but had gradually matured through a longer historical process. Over time, it has developed into becoming a very important, substantive right in the European Union but also one, which is challenged and contested. This course has a threefold aim: to explore the development, application and current challenges of European citizenship. This aim is examined through three modules.
