About

Course overview

You will take compulsory modules in economics and business in years one and two, with a compulsory dissertation in your final year. In each of these years you will choose the remainder of your modules from options in economics, politics, sociology, international relations, mathematical and statistical methodology and language.

You will gain deeper insights into the major economic issues involved in the process of institutional change, including liberalisation, privatisation, monetary and exchange rates policies, financial and trade openness, European integration and economic implications of all these.

You have the opportunity to learn a SSEES language, with a view to spending your year abroad in a country of the region. Not only will you be able to make use of our excellent language teaching resources, but you will also have access to the foreign language resources of the SSEES Library.

Your third year is spent abroad studying at a university in the region. During your year abroad you will be expected to develop your language skills where appropriate, to take modules (in English) related to your degree and to develop an enhanced understanding of relevant country-level issues.

What this course will give you

You will spend your third year abroad, studying at a university in the region.

You will gain an insight into the theoretical, conceptual and analytical tools of social science and their application in understanding the processes of transition and transformation in Central and Eastern Europe.
