The applicant of the project will offer two tailor-made courses in the field of European Studies at Sichuan University in China for undergraduates majoring in science and engineering with the aim to: 1. introduce the historical development of the European Union and its diversity politics particularly for students of non-EU studies; 2. inspire students’ interest in European Union issues and encourage them to acquire in-depth knowledge about the European affairs in the future; 3. improve the applicant’s first-hand experiences in teaching and researching in European studies; 4. cultivate a young scholar of CES at SCU which promises to be conducive to the sustainable development of the centre and cooperation between SCU and European partner universities. At present, the multidisciplinary academic team of CES at SCU composed by senior experts, middle-aged and young scholars are jointly delivering a series of open lectures on the EU from the perspectives of culture, economics, religion, politics, education etc. at SCU in every academic year. These lectures, though providing varying angles to know the EU, lack cohesion. The creation of the new course “The Diversity Politics in the European Union” under the project aims to present a completer and more coherent picture of European culture and politics to Chinese students. Furthermore, the previous EU-related courses mainly targeted students majoring in humanities. The applicant of this project intends to offer such courses for undergraduates majoring in science and engineering, for most of them have very limited exposure to knowledge about the EU, European integration, European common values and norms. Main objectives: to expose students majoring in science and engineering at SCU to more fundamental knowledge on the EU; to familiarize such students with the European integration history and EU’s diversity politics; to inform students of common European values and of a European view of the world.
