This MOOC does not match the quality of others I have taken. The video lectures jump into decision theory and do not present any context or understanding of the EU's present-day structure except to refer publicly available material on europa.eu. In short, this course is not very coherent without significant self-study (so what's the point?). In only the first week, "European Business Law: Understanding the Fundamentals" from Lund University actually gave me a better understanding of EU, by starting with the history and looking at the various treaties and principles in them.

First of all, I had great difficulties to understand the accent of the tutors in this course. Sometimes, the videos were not matching the subtitles.

It is a great course, however for the tasks requiring research on specific countries of EU, it was very hard to find answers to certain questions due to missing information on EUROSTAT and not only. Meanwhile i was searching for the specific information from the national institutions (it takes sometimes up to 2 weeks to have an official answer from administration), i found that the questions were totally changed, which thing added hardship to my already existent struggle. Topping up with the fact that for the following month I had to pay a renewal, right, for not completing the course within one month. So, economically speaking, to pay extra 50$ for the course and a total of 100$ is not worth.

That's my opinion about the course. Maybe others would find it different. I like EU law though and I m willing to pursue with other course.

Course could be a lot more interesting with smaller case studies, real life examples and actual data in videos and breakdown of that data, interpretation and analysis rather than having multiple research paper readings corresponding to each video. Although research papers are appreciated and are a form of great academic knowledge, too many of them don't serve the purpose of "learning" for people who are new to the entire policy formation process.

Otherwise, the course is brilliant with it's content and the depth it chooses to go into. With a few minor changes, this could get a lot more interesting.

Thank you!

If you want a 5-star review: "An excellent resource for understanding how EU policies are created and implemented. Clear explanations and practical examples make it accessible to both students and professionals." For a 4-star review: "Very informative and well-structured. Covers key aspects of EU policy effectively, though some sections could benefit from more real-world examples." For a 3-star review: "Provides a solid overview of EU policy, but some parts feel too theoretical and could use more practical applications." For a 2-star review: "Contains useful information, but the explanations are sometimes too dense or repetitive. Not ideal for beginners." For a 1-star review: "Difficult to follow and overly technical. Lacks clear examples and practical insights."

I enjoyed this course very much, and would definitely recommend it, especially for learning the basics of the European policy-making process. The course is a few years old, so the materials provided might be a bit outdated, but the core of the policy processes are still the same.

This course has been excellent, very well-focused and complete. Really enjoyed learning about policy making processes in the EU. All I've learnt will be very useful for the type of work I do, I'm sure.

Great course! It offers you important knowledge about the EU policy making process and shows and explains you the tools you need for a good analysis and which will help you to get the best results.

Es hat mir wirklich weitergeholfen (um hier allerdings vollends zu profitieren, muss man allerdings ein diszipliniertes Selbststudium aufbringen). Große Empfehlung!

Amazing for people who want an insight about international politics even if they're not in university

Great course, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about policymaking and policy implementation.

Great course. A lot of lecture, very good speaker. Concrete exemple.

Helped me a lot to have a clear picture of how the EU functions through it's institutions.
