Call for Applications: MA East European Studies (Munich/Regensburg)

The interdisciplinary Elite Graduate Program in East European Studies is run jointly by the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich and the University of Regensburg and can be studied at either university. We are accepting applications until 15 June 2021 to start the programme in the winter semester 2021/22. Applicants need to demonstrate a strong interest in Eastern and/or South Eastern Europe, at least basic knowledge of an East European language, and an excellent first degree (usually BA). Since the language of instruction is German, students need fluent German. Preparatory German courses are available.

The interdisciplinary MA in East European Studies comprises a wide variety of subjects offered by two of Germany’s most prestigious universities, including history, languages and literatures, political science, law, anthropology and economics. In addition to expert topical and linguistic knowledge, the Elite Graduate Program teaches key transferable skills through interdisciplinary project courses, internships and exclusive soft skill courses provided by the Elite Network of Bavaria. All students also take part in a summer school held in Eastern Europe.

Students of the Elite Graduate Program profit from the close cooperation with important Bavarian institutions of East European studies, such as the Collegium Carolinum (www.collegium-carolinum.de), the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (www.ios-regensburg.de), and the East European Department of the Bavarian State Library (www.bsb-muenchen.de/sammlungen/osteuropa/). Especially strong ties exist with the Graduate Schools for East and Southeast European Studies in Munich (www.gs-oses.de) and Regensburg (www.gsoses-ur.de).

Applications for the Elite Graduate Program in East European Studies are accepted until 15 June 2021 through the application portal on our website www.osteuropastudien.de.
