The College of Europe's Natolin (Warsaw) campus and its two halls of residence form part of a 120-hectare historical park and nature reserve - formerly the Royal hunting palace of Natolin - situated in the southern part of Warsaw.

The Polish capital, a thriving and fast-developing metropolis of 1.7 million inhabitants, boasts a wealth of history and culture, as well as intense commercial and political activity, as befits a nation of nearly 40 million people undergoing momentous changes following the collapse of communism in 1989.

 

 

Modern commercial areas with elegant shops and restaurants well complement the charms of the historic Old Town, its castle and beautiful old streets and squares almost entirely obliterated during the 1944 Warsaw uprising, but painstakingly restored brick by brick to their historic magnificence during the postwar years. Today is a fascinating time to live and study in Poland, a historic and beautiful country and now a dynamic new member of the European Union.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Natolin campus (Warsaw) of the College of Europe offers a programme in European Interdisciplinary Studies. The interdisciplinary approach implies that throughout the first semester students are introduced to the fundamentals of European politics and policies, economics and EU/EC law.

The first semester curriculum is completed throughout the second semester by specialised courses covering four topics: Governance in the EU, the Single Market, the EU as a Regional Actor, and the EU as a Global Actor.

The Natolin (Warsaw) programme accepts university graduates not only with a background in a wide range of disciplines that it covers, such as law, economics, political science, history, social sciences. It is also open to university graduates in other disciplines, demonstrating a high academic level and a keen interest in European affairs.

The old historical buildings, including the Manor house, the Stables and the Coach house, were converted to the needs of modern times and new buildings were constructed in a style keeping with the harmony of the Palace and its outlying park.

The Natolin campus in Warsaw and its two halls of residence are situated in a picturesque eighteenth century park and palace complex at Natolin on the southern side of the city. This complex, administered by the European Centre Natolin on behalf of the State Treasury, is one of the most spectacular examples of the Polish romantic period. Because of its unique value, the Natolin park is a nature reserve under legal protection.
