Late Antique, Medieval and Early Modern Studies

MA in Nationalism Studies / 1 year / 2 years

Providing a thorough theoretical and methodological grounding, our program will help you develop a critical understanding of nationalism, as well as hands-on, transferable skills. Our extensive curriculum is continually evolving to reflect new realities. With the rise of populist politics in Europe and North America, for instance, we launched a new course, ‘Populism, Neonationalism and Deglobalization’ to delve into the latest manifestations of national populism. You will also have the chance to investigate problems of nationalism in the context of economic and political transition in post-1989 Eastern and Southeastern Europe, with a comparative outlook on regime transitions across the globe.

Our program comes in two formats. The one-year degree is designed for candidates with a four-year bachelor’s degree, while the two-year version is primarily for graduates with a three-year bachelor’s degree.
