The fate of the European Union hangs in the balance. But the crisis is about more than economics. Do Europeans feel European? Or is Europe just a collection of states with a history of close interactions and devastating wars? Will Europe overcome its dilemmas?

We probe these issues in order to deepen our understanding of Europe in the context of contemporary social theory.

Contemporary Europe is marked by political extremism, notably the increased legitimation of far- to extreme-right party families at national and European levels, and Islamist terrorism.

This interdisciplinary unit provides students with the opportunity to address complex problems identified by industry, community, and government organisations, and gain valuable experience in working across disciplinary boundaries. In collaboration with a major industry partner and an academic lead, students integrate their academic skills and knowledge by working in teams with students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. This experience allows students to research, analyse and present solutions to a realworld problem, and to build on their interpersonal and transferable skills by engaging with and learning from industry experts and presenting their ideas and solutions to the industry partner.
