The 2nd cycle degree programme in Interdisciplinary research and studies on Eastern Europe, which jointly recognises this qualification with the Universities Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem (Budapest), Vytautas Magnus (Kaunas), Saint Petersburg, produces graduates who are able to analyse, interpret, assess and manage problems concerning the international dimension particularly of political, economic and social phenomena in Eastern Europe.
For this purpose, the programme, which is carried out entirely in the English language, includes learning activities in linguistics, economics, politological, historical and cultural studies, which are mutually integrated to provide an in-depth preparation on the operations of political, social and economic systems in the countries of Eastern Europe and their role in the international context.
The programme includes an obligatory period of international mobility (6 months), not only to enhance the learning value of the whole 2nd cycle degree programme through the attendance of (linguistic and subject-related) course units with their relative tests, but also for field research which the students will implement in preparation of their dissertations.
