The Interdisciplinary Joint Master in Southeastern European Studies is an
international and interdisciplinary programme in social sciences and
humanities of the highest quality which enables participants to effectively
understand the interrelationship between law, politics, economics and
culture with an emphasis on Southeastern Europe. The programme prepares
students for doctoral studies and professional life in a variety of other
fields including work in international, local governmental and
non-governmental organizations, journalism, business, scientific research
and consultancy.
In the first year students take core courses which include an *introduction
to multidisciplinary approaches in the study of Southeastern Europe, public
law, political science, history, economics and cultural studies.* In the
summer after the first year, *a joint summer school* is held in Hvar,
Croatia, for all students from the participating universities to complete
the compulsory core modules. In the second year, students attend one of the
partner universities and specialize in their desired field. There are also
optional provisions in place to offer students professional trainings and
internship positions. In the final semester students write a master thesis
reflecting their capacity to work on a scientific subject independently.
All compulsory courses are *conducted in English*, but students are able
to take classes in other languages. Language acquisition is an important
key aspect of the joint degree and students are expected to learn a
regional language and/or the predominant language of their mobility
institution.
