Overview

The training in the Balkan Studies Master’s degree program focuses on the current problems and conditions of the region, above all from Hungarian and Central European point of view, with a multi- and interdisciplinary, as well as a critical approach. It is recommended primarily to those who want to specialize their existing qualifications, received in social sciences or humanities, with general and practical knowledge of the region, as well as with language skills. The preparedness of the teaching staff is a guarantee that our graduates can start from a strong position to find jobs in the fields of diplomacy, national security, national defense, Southeast European economy, and international NGO organizations.
