Contemporary History and International Relations

The Master programme consists of 4 terms in which the lecturers aim to grant a professional, theoretical and practical background in research and personal academic development in International Relations and Contemporary History. The MA programme’s primary objective is to grant the opportunity to participate in a high quality education environment for those interested in the following domains: history, international relations and European studies. The main courses follow a selection of interesting subjects: political history, institutional history, economic history, European Union’s economic policies, political ideologies, political philosophy and minority studies. Besides these general topics the MA programme also offers specific opportunities to attend and specialize on fields of study such as the Middle East and IR, Nuclear Proliferation and Non-Proliferation, Diplomacy and last, but certainly not least, an opportunity for young academics to research the contemporary history of Transylvania.  The quality and improvement of the MA is a top priority for our lecturers at the institution. This mentality is reflected in the various research and publication results our master students have obtained during the years achieving countless academic honors.
