Description

The Master’s programme in Southeast European Studies: Politics, History, Economics is primarily addressed to graduates in the social sciences and humanities (politics, sociology, economics, social anthropology, political and social history, Balkan studies, Modern Greek Studies, journalism, etc).  Based on its interdisciplinary nature, it aims to provide a thorough understanding of the key historical, social, political, economic, and cultural issues of Southeastern Europe (henceforth SEE). Southeastern Europe offers an excellent advantage point from which to study major issues like democratic backsliding, state-building, asylum and migration management, economic crisis, climate policies, conflict resolution, and European Union Enlargement.

The academic year 2026-2027 marks the 27th year of the Master’s programme in SEE studies. This period has seen Southeastern Europe’s transformation from a war zone to a region on its way to integration into the European Union. The multinational, multi-disciplinary programme in Southeast European Studies, founded during the Kosovo crisis, has been part of that transition. Created in 1999 as part of the Royaumont Process, in its first years the Programme was supported by the Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe; it has since aimed at facilitating cross-border academic and scientific cooperation, bringing together students from all over the region and beyond, and promoting mutual understanding and good neighbourly relations. Since its launch, the programme has welcomed more than 600 students from 44 countries.

Objective: The programme aims to offer a high-level interdisciplinary postgraduate education on the region of Southeast Europe. In addition to its academic objectives, the programme aims to promote discussion and awareness, as well as mutual understanding and good neighborly relations.

The courses are taught in English
