The comparative politics component of the program covers basic theories, research methodology, empirical analysis, and comparative studies of the political developments and the party systems in European countries. This component allows students to focus specifically on the region of Central and Eastern Europe, to explore the experiences of post-communist transformations, and to acquire a thorough understanding of the political developments in post-socialist countries. The European integration component includes theoretical and empirical analysis of different international organizations and their interaction in Europe. Special emphasis is put on the study of the European
Union and its enlargements.

SOCIOLOGY

It is study program is designed as a full-time graduate Master's study programme. The programme offers the opportunity for students to choose from the following areas of specialization: Social Research, Ethnic Relations and Migration Studies, Contemporary Social Problems, Modernization and Civil Society, Cultural Sociology. The courses combine general sociological information on these fields with a specific focus on the European and East-Central European historical contexts, such as the EU enlargement or democratic transition. The Sociology program is offered to students who have already gained an undergraduate degree in the fields of humanities, social
sciences, political science or other related fields. The study programme is also open to students whose aim is not to study for a graduate degree, but rather to gain individual credits. Such students may enrol in individual courses of their choice; the tuition fee will be proportional to the number of credits taken.
