About this programme
The two-year Master's programme in Eastern European Cultural Studies trains students to become experts in the history and culture of Central and Eastern Europe. The programme is interdisciplinary and combines Slavic literature, culture and media studies with Central and Eastern European history and politics as well as Jewish cultural studies. Our unique profile conveys a transcultural perspective of Central and Eastern Europe. Students gain specialised knowledge about the entangled Russian, Polish, German, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Jewish regional culture and history. The programme aims also at the acquisition of methodical competences in regional cultural studies. By dealing with theoretical approaches to cultural phenomena (oriented towards text, image, media, space and performance studies as well as history and political science) students obtain competences that enable them to analyse cultural and societal processes of the past and the present in Central and Eastern Europe. One main feature of the programme is the double degree option with our international partner: University of Warsaw: Students who choose this track will study one mandatory semester in Warsaw where they focus on culture, media and society of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus. Additionally, language courses in Polish, Ukrainian and Belarusian are offered. The students can also choose a home track at the University of Potsdam with a single degree. This track sets a focus on intercultural studies including Jewish
