Political Analysis (Russia and Eastern Europe) MA

UCL (University College London)

Our MA provides an opportunity to study political and social developments in post-communist Europe in breadth and depth, acquiring a mix of in-depth knowledge, analytical and research skills, and theoretical understanding. Regions covered include Central and Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and most parts of the former Soviet Union.The programme tackles issues such as democracy and authoritarianism, corruption, ethno-political conflict, foreign policy and security in both thematic and area/country-oriented modules. You are able to either focus on one region or to study regions across the post-communist world. You will take a core module in methodology and have the option of learning a language of the region.The programme is designed for all those seeking to develop up-to-date knowledge of politics and society in Russia and Eastern Europe, and to draw on the latest insights in political and social science.Those with backgrounds in social sciences or humanities would be particularly welcome to apply.
