Masterstudiengang Osteuropastudien

Der interdisziplinäre Masterstudiengang Osteuropastudien vermittelt Fähigkeiten mit Bezug auf Ostmittel-, Südost- und Osteuropa. Das zweijährige Studium befähigt die Absolventen, als wissenschaftlich fundierte und praxisorientierte Osteuropa-Expertinnen und Experten in der Wissenschaft wie auch in vielfältigen Berufsfeldern erfolgreich tätig zu werden.

Der Studiengang baut auf einen ersten Studienabschluss (B.A.oder gleichwertiger berufsqualifizierender Abschluss) auf und richtet sich an Studierende vor allem aus den Fachbereichen Politik, Soziologie, Kultur, Geschichte, Recht und Wirtschaft. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, ihre bisherige Fachrichtung in einer Kerndisziplin osteuropabezogen zu vertiefen und sie mit Erweiterungsdisziplinen zu ergänzen. Hinzu kommen ein praxisorientiertes Projektmodul und ein Praktikum.

Ziel des Master-Studiengangs ist es, die wissenschaftliche Grundlage und praktische Erfahrung für spätere Tätigkeiten als Osteuropa-Experte/in unter anderem in den zuvor genannten Bereichen zu liefern.

Der Masterstudiengang wurde im November 2005 von der Zentralen Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagentur Hannover (ZEvA) ohne Auflagen akkreditiert.


Zugangsvoraussetzungen

Studienbeginn: jeweils Wintersemester

Studiendauer: 4 Semester

Studiengebühren: Der Masterstudiengang Osteuropastudien ist gebührenfrei. Die üblichen Immatrikulationskosten der Freien Universität Berlin sind zu entrichten.

East European Studies Online

Aims

Representatives from business, research, politics and administration confirm a growing demand for experts on Eastern Europe, yet appropriate education and training is scarce. Thus, the Institute for East European Studies (OEI) at the Freie Universität Berlin has taken the initiative to respond to this obvious need. The OEI is well reputed for its East-West competence.

East European Studies online are set out to be multidisciplinary and contain political, social, historical, cultural, economic and legal knowledge. Students are to be enabled to analyze and interpret developments and situations in Eastern Europe and to assess them within their respective political, social, legal, economic, historical and cultural contexts. Moreover, students will be equipped with the skills that are necessary to work out regional questions and problems in a multidisciplinary and comparative way.

Emphasis is placed on distance learning. 12 modules are presented online via the learning management system Blackboard.  Four obligatory in-house classes in Berlin provide for blended learning. Working language is English. Successful completion of the program is rewarded with a master's degree (M.A.).

The program is mainly directed towards postgraduates who wish to gain further qualification. They receive preparation for a professional career, research work or further study.

In 2006, two renowned German organizations for science and teaching, namely Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and the German Academic Exchange Service, named EES online as one of Germany's Top Ten International Master Programs. EES online is the only online program and one out of five social sciences programs to receive this recognition.

Program

The accredited East European Studies online master program provides its students with good knowledge of Eastern Europe.The program teaches the requisites necessary for an employment of East European concern, but also prepares students for further scientific work.

The program consists of four different components:

  1. four in-house classes spread evenly over the two years
  2. the distance learning course with units offered via internet (for a sample unit see section on e-Learning )
  3. the internship or study project
  4. the master's thesis

Admission

The complete program takes two years and accounts for 120 ECTS. Deadline for applications for the fifth run that will start in October 2007: April 30, 2007.

Tuition fees for the third run amount to 3,450.00 € per year of study plus the regular registration fees of the Freie Universität Berlin (175,00 € per year). Costs arising from the in-house periods must be paid by the students themselves (travel expenses, room and board).

The master degree will be awarded if all in-house classes have been attended, all modules have been completed successfully, a report on the internship or study project has been handed in and a master's thesis has been completed. Moreover, increased language skills in an East European language have to be proven.

Without knowledge of at least one East European language, access to the different mind-sets and cultures within Eastern Europe is hardly possible. Thus, basic linguistic proficiency in one of the national languages of Eastern Europe has to be proven as part of the admission requirements. Moreover, during the years of completing East European Studies, an augmentation of this language ability has to be achieved. No credit, however, is earned for the fulfillment of this language requirement, since this language requirement is a necessary tool for this type of graduate study. UNIcert I and II are approved certificates of linguistic proficiency. As sufficient offers for language learning exist, the distance learning course itself does not supply them. Assistance in the search for suitable opportunities is available.

Here are the official regulations:
