Master's Programme Southeast European Studies

In 2011, the universities of Graz, Zagreb, Belgrade and Skopje launched the interdisciplinary joint Master's programme in Southeast European Studies.

The English-taught Master's Programme in Southeast European Studies is a full-time master's programme. The mission of the Joint Master Programme in Southeast European Studies is to provide an international and interdisciplinary master programme in social sciences and humanities of highest quality, which enables participants to effectively understand the interrelationship between history, law, politics, economics and culture with strong emphasis on the region of Southeastern Europe.

The programme offers two focus areas, one in Southeast European History and one in Law and Politics in Southeastern Europe.  In both versions, the programme promotes the capacity for academic analysis, especially by applying an inter- and transdisciplinary approach which includes areas of legal, political, economic and cultural studies.

The Master's Programme in Southeast European Studies comprises 120 ECTS credits corresponding to a period of study of at least four semesters or two years. As a student of the Master’s programme you have to earn at least 60 ECTS at your entrance university (30 ECTS in courses and 30 ECTS for your Master’s Thesis) and you have to earn at least 30 ECTS at your mobility university during the integrated mobility semester as a mandatory requirement for graduation. 

You can spend your mandatory mobility semester at the following partner universities, but you cannot enroll there as your entrance university:

  • University of Belgrade
  • Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj
  • University of Bologna
  • Central European University (Vienna)

Please also note that a double degree option between the University of Graz and the University of Ljubljana is open to  students within the “law and politics” track with an academic background in international relations who are interested in a mobility at the University of Ljubljana.
