The BMW Center for German and European Studies features an intensive, interdisciplinary program of instruction in German and European affairs. It is designed to prepare students for professional careers in international business, government, or non-governmental organizations, as well as for academic careers. The Center offers a two-year professional degree, the Master of Arts in German and European Studies. It also offers students the opportunity to pursue the Ph. D. simultaneously in one of the participating academic fields, which are Economics, German, Government, and History. The Center also regularly sponsors public lectures, conferences and workshops, and hosts visiting scholars who teach and conduct research at the Center.

To acknowledge the generosity of BMW AG’s 1996 endowment, the Center officially changed its name to the BMW Center after the conclusion of the German government grant in 2000.

The former Midwest Center for German and European Studies began as a joint effort of a consortium of faculty representing ten disciplines from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities who share research and teaching interests in German and European studies. Now operating independently, the two Centers facilitate an interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching in contemporary German and European studies in the humanities, social and political sciences, and economics. They aim to educate the next generation of German and European experts in the US and to provide information and new perspectives on Germany and Europe to the regional and non-academic community.

After the conclusion of the German Government Grant in the year 2000, the Center for German and European Studies continues in its mission to promote the American understanding of contemporary developments in Europe, and particularly in Germany, within the framework of the Berkeley Institute of European Studies. The Center organizes conferences, workshops, lectures, and ongoing study groups in which specialists from several disciplines and countries write about long-term trends and current affairs. Research projects involve both faculty and graduate students from all nine campuses of the University of California and usually continue for two to three years on such topics as Political Economy of European Integration, Supranational Governance in the EU, Globalization and Governance in the European Union, European Security, and the Political Economy of Ethnic Conflict. The Center also offers generous support for various research projects to faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates.
