Course summary

The twentieth century witnessed dramatic changes in the fortunes of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. War, revolution and widespread social and economic change resulted in a tumultuous period in the history of the region. The collapse of communism and the subsequent changes brought about has ensured that many of the inherited problems continue to this day. From the Baltic to the Balkans and from Berlin to Vladivostock we chart the key issues in this crucial area. The University is a hub for a government-funded Centre of Excellence for Russian, Central & East European Studies, which hosts cultural, social and academic events throughout the year. It is not compulsory but you may wish to study one of the following languages: Hungarian, Czech, Polish or Russian.The University of Glasgow's Q-Step Centre offers programmes which develop your quantitative skills, or in other words, your ability to handle data and use numerical evidence. Developing quantitative skills and your confidence in using them, will really enhance your insight and understanding of the key issues you encounter in your chosen field of study.The University of Glasgow Q-Step Centre offers five degree programmes that integrate quantitative skills training within the School of Social and Political Sciences. All of these programmes aim to engage you with meaningful ways of understanding the social world. We will teach you how to understand and analyse quantitative results, as well as how to present your own, and how to discuss their substantive implications. These are essential skills for understanding quantitative evidence presented in academic literature, but also for interrogating data in public media and government reports. Around one quarter of your study time will be devoted to quantitative methods. And our degrees also offer you the possibility to gain valuable experience by participating in internships with selected high-profile employers.The 2004 and 2007 eastward enlargement of the EU and NATO, as well as ongoing developments in Russia, Ukraine, the other former Soviet states and the Balkans, mean there is a high demand for specialists in the field. Graduates have developed careers in the European Commission, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), journalism and the business community.You will study the history, economics, politics and sociology of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. You will chart developments including processes of economic and territorial change, aspects of social and cultural diversity, migration and the role of the media. In addition, you will have the opportunity to study Hungarian,Czech, Polish, or Russian.
