Annotation

Experience Europe: The interdisciplinary degree programme in the Culture and History of Central and Eastern Europe (M.A.) does not simply provide knowledge about Central and Eastern Europe. Students also benefit in a practical way from the cross-border situation in the German-Polish twin city of Frankfurt (Oder) -Słubice and its region. They examine the challenges, perspectives and problems of the culture and history of Central and Eastern Europe in their pan-European context. Internships, practical seminars and the learning of foreign languages offer the opportunity to gain intercultural experience and to establish a personal and professional network. A vibrant international and multilingual culture is an integral part of the campus life of the European University Viadrina.
