[Bilimsel Haber] Reminder: call for app. to MA MIREES (University of Bologna)

[Gonul Pultar]

Dear colleague,

I would like to remind you that the next deadline for applications to 
the two-year Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on 
Eastern Europe (MIREES) is May 17th, 2010.

This programme, which might be of interest for your students, was 
launched some years ago by the University of Bologna, Italy together 
with the Vytautas Magnus University at Kaunas, Corvinus University of 
Budapest and St Petersburg State University, who awards a joint diploma. 
The University of Ljubljana is an associate partner that offers 
additional mobility for students.

The programme is taught entirely in English (120 ECTS) and MIREES 
students will spend the first year in Forlì (one of the five campuses of 
the University of Bologna), while in the second year a minimum of 5 
months will be spent at Partner Universities (including Ljubljana) and, 
in particular cases, at other MIREES Associated Universities in the 
Balkans. A mobility grant is offered to all enrolled students.

More detailed information on the teaching plan and the Faculty, together 
with the application form, can be found at our web site:

<http://www.iecob.net/main/index.php?option=com_jlinks&controller=redirect&link=acjrlq89wwz0&lktype=acamail&subsid=7874>.

The programme is especially *recommended* for prospective PhD students. 
Our best alumni are currently attending doctorate programmes at the 
Universities of Oxford, Kent, the New School in New York and other 
prestigious international academic institutions. Moreover, the programme 
is designed to forge analysts, area experts, consultants and mediators, 
to meet the needs of research institutes, the European Commission, 
international agencies, voluntary organizations and NGO's, public 
administration, managers, corporations and banks located in East-Central 
Europe and the Balkans or promoting investments in these regions. Most 
of our alumni have found employment precisely in these fields.

The MIREES programme *offers* specialized, in-depth knowledge of the 
post-socialist countries in transition, the new EU member states, and 
the new East-European neighbour countries to students with a BA in 
Economics, Politics, International Relations, History, Languages (and 
Slavic languages in particular), agricultural studies and cultural 
studies generally.

The programme *aims* at developing language skills. MIREES offers 
courses in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Bulgarian, Russian, and Slovak 
(Hungarian and Lithuanian are also available in the 2nd year), as well 
as Italian for foreigners as an additional option. The curriculum 
stresses on interdisciplinary studies in the economics of transition; 
politics and international relations; history and cultural studies 
focused on Central, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The international 
dimension of the programme is enhanced through student mobility, by an 
international faculty composed of prominent scholars of international 
repute, and a genuinely international student body. (In the previous 
cycles we enrolled students from 21 countries including the US, Mexico, 
Russia, Georgia, Estonia, Macedonia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, 
Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey, Albania, Poland, Armenia, Norway, 
Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Slovak Republic, Finland and, 
of course, Italy.)

Therefore, we would be extremely grateful if you could encourage your BA 
students to consider applying to this two year programme and, at the 
same time, if you could forward this message to your colleagues 
interested in this part of the world. With this in mind we are sending 
you as an attachment our promotional flyer in a pdf file. It briefly 
covers all the general aspects of the programme, as well as the mission 
and the profile of our Master of Arts.

Should you need further information, please feel free to contact the 
Tutor of the course at facscpol-fo.tutormirees at unibo.it 
<mailto:facscpol-fo.tutormirees at unibo.it>or the Faculty Student Office 
(info.spfo at unibo.it <mailto:info.spfo at unibo.it>, phone +39.0543.374100).

Thank you very much for your kind attention and cooperation.

Best regards,

Prof. Stefano Bianchini
