Master of Studies on Eastern Europe (MIREES)

[Miți]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to remind you that the next deadline for applications to
the
two-year Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on
Eastern
Europe (MIREES) is May 17th, 2010.

This programme, which might be of interest for your students, was
launched
some years ago by the University of Bologna, Italy together with the
Vytautas Magnus University at Kaunas, Corvinus University of Budapest
and St
Petersburg State University, who awards a joint diploma. The
University of
Ljubljana is an associate partner that offers additional mobility for
students.

The programme is taught entirely in English (120 ECTS) and MIREES
students
will spend the first year in Forlì (one of the five campuses of the
University of Bologna), while in the second year a minimum of 5 months
will
be spent at Partner Universities (including Ljubljana) and, in
particular
cases, at other MIREES Associated Universities in the Balkans. A
mobility
grant is offered to all enrolled students.

More detailed information on the teaching plan and the Faculty,
together
with the application form, can be found at our web site:

.

The programme is especially *recommended* for prospective PhD
students.

The MIREES programme *offers* specialized, in-depth knowledge of the
post-socialist countries in transition, the new EU member states, and
the
new East-European neighbour countries to students with a BA in
Economics,
Politics, International Relations, History, Languages (and Slavic
languages
in particular), agricultural studies and cultural studies generally.

The programme *aims* at developing language skills. MIREES offers
courses in
Bosnian-Croatian- Serbian, Bulgarian, Russian, and Slovak (Hungarian
and
Lithuanian are also available in the 2nd year), as well as Italian for
foreigners as an additional option. The curriculum stresses on
interdisciplinary studies in the economics of transition; politics and
international relations; history and cultural studies focused on
Central,
Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The international dimension of the
programme
is enhanced through student mobility, by an international faculty
composed
of prominent scholars of international repute, and a genuinely
international
student body. (In the previous cycles we enrolled students from 21
countries
including the US, Mexico, Russia, Georgia, Estonia, Macedonia,
Croatia,
Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey, Albania,
Poland,
Armenia, Norway, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Slovak
Republic,
Finland and, of course, Italy.)
