    Abstract

    The approach of Problem-based learning (PBL), which was used for the first time in medical education at Mc Master University, is the main teaching method within the field of European Studies at Maastricht University, both at Master and Bachelor level. PBL is a student-centred approach in which students collaboratively solve problems - normally structured by way of assignments - in small groups with the help of a tutor. Advocates of PBL claim it can be used to enhance content knowledge and foster the development of communication, problem-solving, and self-directed learning. This contribution aims to reflect on how to apply this method to the field of European Studies (ES) and how to set up assignments within this domain. In a nutshell this paper thus aims not only to contribute to the general debate about teaching with PBL and its relevance for EU studies but examines specifically the value and applicability of different assignments in different settings
