School of Graduate Studies

MA programs provide for the training of Belarusian experts well versed in the application of European perspectives within the fields of law, political science, history, cultural heritage, cultural studies, and gender policy. Students participate in graduate programs at EHU often while they are engaged in practical training at other institutions, thus they are well prepared to pursue opportunities for continuing their education at the doctoral level, with a view toward defending a doctoral dissertation at a European University. MA programs include specialist training, practical training and a research component. The first graduating class of 2008 involved 48 students; the majority returned to Belarus to work within their respective fields of interest and others were awarded internships by EHU to pursue doctoral studies at other universities.

Volume: 80 credits

Outside the classroom, MA students become involved in a number of interests to pursue their professional, research or personal interests, with particular emphasis on internships at international institutions.

Components of Belarusian Studies are integrated into the following degree programs as an interdisciplinary study and plans are under consideration for the establishment of a degree program in the field of Belarusian Studies in the forthcoming years.
