Master programme

Description of the programme / policy

The Master programme in East European Studies is a two-year interdisciplinary programme that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the politics, history, culture, and society of the region. Students are also encouraged to participate in research projects and internships.

Main objective of the programme/policy

The main objective of the master’s programme is to qualify future graduates to independently analyse and interpret the developments and situations in Eastern Europe, as well as position them in line with their political, social, economic, historical, and cultural context, and evaluate them through an interdisciplinary approach. The goal is also for graduates to be able to address regional issues and challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective and draw conclusions based on empirical evidence, as well as to be qualified to analyse national, regional, and global processes.

Specific objective of the programme/policy

The project seminar is an integral part of the Master’s programme in Eastern European Studies. The goal is to provide students with competencies beyond theoretical discussions in the academic environment. Additionally, the aim is for students to develop their own project ideas in small working groups and implement them during the academic year.
