The Manipal Centre for European Studies (MCES) was established in December 2009 with a funding from the European Union. This was to further the University’s commitment and belief in the sans-border education. The objective of the Department is to develop and broaden Indo-EU relations by sharing each other’s strengths through educational enterprise and the fostering of institutional partnerships between universities, leading to a mutually beneficial exchange of best academic practices and enhancement of common human knowledge.
