CEU History Department invites new applications

[Karl Hall]

The History Department at CEU Budapest invites new applications for its
1-year and 2-year MA programs. 

The History Department of Central European University, Budapest, is the
only transnational, English-language graduate school in Europe that is
accredited both in EU-member Hungary and in the United States. 

The department is a highly cosmopolitan place of learning, a site for
transnational academic socialization where sophisticated scholarship is
combined with social relevance and a collegial atmosphere. Further
information may be found at www.hist.ceu.hu .

In recent years the student body -- nearly evenly divided between men
and women -- has included students from all across Europe, the Russian
Federation, Central Asia, the Near and Middle East, Central and North
America, even the Pacific Rim. Altogether, students from over thirty
countries have studied in the department. Virtually all of them receive
grants and fellowships, as well as other forms of need- and merit-based
financial assistance. 

The faculty, staff, and students are cosmopolitan and multilingual --
permanent and recurrent visiting faculty come from Austria, Bulgaria,
Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, and the United
States. The curriculum is comparative, interdisciplinary, and up-to-date
with the most recent developments in scholarship.

It is possible to concentrate on a number of special subjects or area
specializations, including ones that, from a wider global perspective,
may be regarded as defining the historical identity of the region, such
as the Jewish Studies Specialization or the Religious Studies
Specialization.

Applications are invited for two MA programs:  The one-year Master of
Arts in Central European History is designed for students who have
completed at least a four-year Bachelor’s degree.  The two-year Master
of Arts in Historical Studies, offered jointly with the Department of
Medieval Studies, is designed for those who have completed a three-year
Bachelor’s degree. There is also a PhD program in Comparative History
of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe. Apply at
www.ceu.hu/admissions .

Deadline: January 26, 2009

For inquiries about the admissions process or graduate degree programs,
or for any other questions about the department, please contact
