The MA in European Studies is a high-level postgraduate course taught in English by experts in their fields. Students complete 120 ECTS points in up to four semesters - students willing to study intensively may also complete the programme in approximately a year. Its goal is to provide graduate students with interdisciplinary knowledge, expertise and experience in European affairs from one of two viewpoints for which we are ideally placed. Students may opt for one of two closely related study tracks:

Central and Eastern European Studies - Students following this track focus on the history, experiences and culture of Poland and its neighbors in Central Europe and to the East, in the countries of the former Soviet Union and its satellites.
