About this programme

The Giessen Centre for Eastern European Studies (GiZo) is the regional studies research and teaching centre for Eastern Europe at the Justus Liebig University of Giessen. By combining cultural and social science research on Eastern Europe, the centre provides an excellent basis for interdisciplinary research on the region. The GiZo offers an accredited, two-year, full-time Master's degree programme, the Interdisciplinary Studies on Eastern Europe Master of Arts. The programme is notable for its interdisciplinary and international nature as well as its emphasis on applied research. The course of study is conducted in German, and it provides students with the professional competence and expertise to analyse, reflect upon, and evaluate social, political, legal, and cultural developments and relations in the Eastern European region (also Turkey and the Turkic-speaking regions of the former Soviet Union). The wide range of disciplines and courses offered allows for an individual curriculum and the opportunity to build a research-based as well as job-oriented profile. The curriculum consists of one major subject (50 CP) and two minor elements (20 CP each). The programme concludes with a Master's thesis (30 CP) based on the student's major, but the thesis may also include additional interdisciplinary topics. Students can choose from the following subjects: Majors: Slavic studies OR History of Eastern Europe Minors: Slavic studies, History of Eastern Europe, Sociology, Political scie
