Course summary

This interdisciplinary degree will help you become a historian with a specialist understanding of Eastern Europe. You’ll be able to choose optional modules covering a range of historical periods and many facets of the post-Soviet states. You’ll develop an awareness of complex historical phenomena and learn how they help us to understand present-day issues and challenges. This degree will equip you with transferable skills sought by future employers such as critical thinking and communication skills. Although not compulsory, you may choose to learn a language alongside this degree. Adding a language to this degree will help you deepen your understanding of this complex area of history and open up future employment opportunities. We offer optional Serbian/Croatian language modules as part of this degree, or you may choose from a range of languages (including Russian) through the Language Centre. Why choose this course?
