International Relations in Eurasia

International Relations in Eurasia is a two-year double degree graduate programme delivered in collaboration with the University College London and the University of Kent (separate tracks). Teaching in the programme is based on multidisciplinary approach which allows students to examine complex interrelationship of politics and economics in todays globalized world with the focus on Eurasian studies.

Students of the programme benefit from studying in truly international groups under the supervision of international faculty and experts from academia, business and government institutions. We are proud of our alumni who come from the UK, Russia, USA, Germany, Poland, Taiwan, Bulgaria, France, Austria, Italy, CzechRepublic and other countries.

The Programme is taught in English. It lasts two years. Each student spends year 1 at one of the partner universities before progressing to HSE for the second year. At HSE the Programme provides a bunch of courses on Eurasian studies, Russian language and opportunities to participate in internships at academic, research and consulting organizations. At the end of the second year students are expected to write and defence their master thesis.

In 2013 the Programme offers three study tracks:

• Politics & Security Track (delivered under IMESS Consortium in collaboration with the University College of London);
• Economics & Business Track (delivered under IMESS Consortium in collaboration with the University College of London);
• International Relations Track (delivered in collaboration with the University of Kent).

All applicants should hold (or expect to obtain) an upper second class honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a relevant subject area.All students whose first language is not English must be able to provide recent evidence that their spoken and written command of the English language is adequate for the programme e.g. ‘good’ level in accordance with the Programme Language Policy (depends on the chosen track).
