Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on Eastern Europe (MIREES)
Institution/Organiser: The Faculty of Political Science "Roberto Ruffilli" (University of Bologna at Forlì)
Kind of support/work: Degree programme
Duration: 2 years
Site: Bologna, Italy
Topics: MIREES offers a unique added value to the specialized education of the student. In particular, in addition to the knowledge acquired by the student in Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Cultural Studies, Sociology and Anthropology, MIREES provides indispensable knowledge of the political, economic, and socio-cultural transitions that have taken place in certain geopolitical areas, namely the Balkans, the Baltic states, Russia / CIS and Central-Eastern Europe, taking into consideration the process of European integration and the policies of neighbouring states. MIREES promotes interdisciplinary methodology, language learning and the international mobility of both students and teaching staff in order to guarantee both academic and professional training. In this way, students will become capable of elaborating data and applying original ideas in a context of autonomous research; they will learn to tackle the complexity of the subject and to take this into due consideration when making assessments, at the same time as demonstrating awareness of the social and ethical consequences that will be implied in the measurements and evаluations required in a professional context.
