European Studies Review is a peer-reviewed journal. It contains academic and opinion pieces, written by students and recent graduates on a wide range of topics relating to European affairs.

The European Studies Review journal provides a platform for students and recent graduates who have an interest in areas relating to European affairs to express their opinion and publish independent research. The journal is composed of articles from our team as well as submissions received from our readers. Each article covers different topics which means there will always be something to read which you will be interested in.

The multi-disciplinary nature of the journal means that the journal is accessible to students and recent graduates of all disciplines. Our contributors have various backgrounds, ranging from political science and international relations, law and psychology. This reflects the complex nature in which European Studies can be analysed.
