In 2022 the head of International Relations Department (current lecturer) Bakhtiyar Badalov was awarded Jean Monnet Module. The core objective of the ‘European Union, its institutions, values and potential: professional implications for Azerbaijan (EUPIA)’ module is to reveal how enhanced understanding of Europe may contribute to an understanding of the goals and values of the European Union and, as a consequence, enhance the economic, democratic and social links between Europe and Azerbaijan. The EUPIA focuses on undergraduate students at Azerbaijan University, and concentrates on political, economic and cultural relations. It presents this information in ways relevant to potential decision makers in Azerbaijani society by integrating the module horizontality and vertically. It would also act as a template for other universities. It will enhance employability and improve prospects for young graduates by contextualising Europe in their chosen professional careers and increase opportunities for academic development.
The module will be run twice in each academic year.
