[Bilimsel Haber] Application to MA MIREES of the University of Bologna

[Gonul Pultar]

from <elisa.landi3 at unibo.it>


Dear colleague,

I would like to pass on information about the two-year Master of Arts in 
Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on Eastern Europe (MIREES) which 
might be of interest for your students.

This programme is jointly offered by the University of Bologna, Italy 
together with the Vytautas Magnus University at Kaunas, Corvinus 
University of Budapest and St Petersburg State University. 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.

The call for application to the MA MIREES will be available as soon as 
possible. However, the admission requirements and the documents to be 
provided for application are already available on the MA MIREES' website 
(http://www.mirees.unibo.it/ 
<http://www.iecob.net/main/index.php?option=com_jlinks&controller=redirect&link=acjrl19ulewz1q&lktype=acamail&subsid=7841>), 
as well as detailed information on the teaching plan and the Faculty, 
and the brochure of the programme 
<http://www.iecob.net/main/index.php?option=com_jlinks&controller=redirect&link=acjrl19ulewz1q1&lktype=acamail&subsid=7841>.

*Two evaluation sessions* are scheduled: the *first one*, with deadline 
*May, 16th 2011*, is open to all candidates; the *second one*, with 
deadline *September, 19th 2011 *is only for EU students and non-EU 
students with equivalent status.

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 22 countries including the US, Mexico, Russia, 
Georgia, Estonia, Macedonia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, 
Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey, Albania, Poland, Armenia, Norway, 
Slovenia, Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Slovak Republic, 
Finland and, of course, Italy.)

Therefore, I 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.
