Course description

The joint master’s degree in Regional Studies Eastern and Central Europe (ROME) comprises the compulsory subject Eastern and Central European Studies, which is studied with a Russian or Polish focus, and one of the obligatory elective subjects Economics, Social Sciences or Law with Eastern European Law.
