Abstract

The paper presents first findings from a series of focus group discussions with Master students in European students. Master students in EU studies are both well informed on the EU and well educated, and hence, as according to the general wisdm of EU opinion research, they should be a very europhile population. Findings demostrate, however, that they show an informed but constructive EU criticism rather than a general unreflected EU support.
