School of Slavonic and East European Studies MPhil/PhD

UCL (University College London)

The MPhil/PhD programme at UCL's School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) offers you the possibility to study in the heart of London and benefit from multi-disciplinary expertise across the humanities and social sciences, at the UK's largest centre for research and teaching on Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Research studies will be supported not only by expert supervisors, but also by a great variety of seminar series, conferences, lectures, workshops and other opportunities. Our mission at SSEES is to foster cross-disciplinary approaches to area studies, using expertise in our primary geographical region to generate knowledge and understanding of the broader world. With our spectacular library and award-winning building in the heart of London, and at the centre of a vibrant network of national and international connections, SSEES provides a dynamic environment where students acquire the expertise and skills that employers want, including an unparalleled range of languages. Studying for a PhD requires individuals to be self-motivated, independent and committed to their topic of research. This MPhil/PhD is for applicants who may have completed post-graduate training or study and want to develop an advanced critical analysis in a specific research area. The programme is for graduates with a background or interest in the SSEES region, combined with disciplines such as anthropology, culture, languages, literature, history, politics, sociology and economics. It is suitable for both recent Masters graduates as well as early or mid-career professionals.
