Would you like to learn more about Europe and strengthen your intercultural skills? Enrol for the EurIdentity Certificate! The certificate provides a broad knowledge of Europe and European contexts. The certificate can be taken by all students at Trier University, regardless of their degree programme and qualification level. The EurIdentity Certificate consists of two parts: Basic Module and Advanced Level.
Voices on the certificate
Since the winter semester 2023/24, students at Trier University have been able to take the EurIdentity Certificate. As a joint project of the University of the Greater Region (UniGR) and its seven partner universities (RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau, University of Liège, Université de Lorraine, University of Luxembourg, Saarland University, Trier University, htw saar), a certificate in English has been created that is open to all students in the Greater Region.
Basic Module: Foundations of Europe
![[Translate to Englisch:] Basic Module](/fileadmin/_processed_/e/3/csm_Module_content_Basic_Module_f24947d476.png)
The ‘EurIdentity Basic Module: Foundations of Europe’ (5 ECTS*) is available as an online course independent of the timetable. With 12 different sections, it offers a broad overview of the institutions and core policy areas of the European Union, the history, literature and art of Europe, European identity and European law through to EU external relations and climate change issues. Each of the twelve topics is presented in English by different lecturers from UniGR's seven partner universities in videos that can be accessed at any time.
All interested students at Trier University can take the EurIdentity Certificate. If the free elective area is firmly integrated into your degree programme, the Basic Module: Foundations of Europe can also be selected via this. Please refer to your study plan or module handbook to find out whether this is the case!
All other students can either take the Basic Module alone or the complete certificate as additional courses.
Registration for the Basic Module
- Please select the course via PORTA (13502321 EurIdentity Basic Level: Foundations of Europe) and register. This applies to all students enrolled at Trier University, including ERASMUS students (exception: doctoral students).
- Once you are registered for the course, you will be automatically added to the course on StudIP, which will initially be used for communication.
- The course content itself can be found on OpenOlat. Please register there yourself.
- Please note: enrolment is always carried out manually and collectively by the UniGR lecturer on 15 October and 25 October (winter semester) or 15 April and 25 April (summer semester). You will therefore not see the course contents immediately! If you have any further problems with registration, please send an e-mail to: unigruni-trierde
Advanced Level
The Advanced Module of the EurIdentity Certificate at Trier University consists of 20 ECTS. This also includes a compulsory mobility of 6 ECTS. This can be completed by attending a course at EurIdentity Advanced Level at one of the partner universities.
The corresponding courses are regular courses that Trier University and the UniGR partner universities offer each semester on the topic of Europe. Students can select various courses from the course catalogues of Trier University and the UniGR partner universities, taking into account their individual interests, and thus qualify themselves for the international, cross-border labour market.
Students who would like to complete the certificate and register for the Advanced Level should send an informal e-mail to the UniGR advisor, Dr Sandra Kraft.
