IMCEERES Digital Programme Guide
Year 1, Semester 2 (University of Glasgow)
The Glasgow semester builds upon your studies from Tartu. Students will be placed into regional pathways: Russian Studies, Central and East European Studies, Eurasian Studies, and Western Balkan Studies. Your pathway will be dependent on your dissertation topic and the subsequent allocation of your third mobility university. In Glasgow, each pathway has a capstone module that students must take. This is combined with a language option (continued from semester 1 in Tartu) and an optional module (elective course). It is expected that students will try to align their language choice to this pathway where possible. If, for example, you opt for the Russian Studies pathway, we would normally expect you to also take Russian language. We understand, however, that certain regions are complex.
- Regional pathway capstone (10 ECTS)
- Elective course (10 ECTS)
- Language (Hungarian, Polish, Russian) (10 ECTS)
Please note that not all courses will run every year. Capstone and Optional courses are run on a rotational basis.
