Institute of International Relations and Political Science at Vilnius University is offering two excellent programmes in English. These programmes are tailored to meet the academic needs and interests of students who seek to broaden their knowledge in the field of politics, international relations, Eastern European, and Russian studies.
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Politics of Global Challenges offers a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on the most pressing issues currently affecting the development of states and societies. The programme includes the basics of philosophy, political science, biochemistry, technology, public administration, and IT and is based on the changing global world (Pandemics, migration, an aging population, rapid technological change, growing inequality, ecology, the crisis of democracy). The aim of this programme is to prepare professionals for future politics, who would not only be able to reach out to different groups (politicians, business representatives, non-governmental organizations, IT specialists, and others) but also bring them together.
Meanwhile, the Master’s programme in Eastern European and Russian Studies provides students with an in-depth understanding of the history, politics, society, and culture of Eastern Europe and Russia. The programme aims to foster critical thinking and analytical skills in students, preparing them for careers in academia, public service, or private sector organizations with interests in this region. By being close to the region’s major events – the protests in Belarus, Russia’s conflicts with Georgia, the war in Ukraine, and many more – students will be able to analyse them up close and get a closer look at the specifics of the region.
Both programmes are delivered by highly experienced and qualified widely known political scientists of Lithuania who are committed to providing top-quality education to their students. Moreover, Vilnius University perfectly balances the old past and the changing world, emerging technologies, boasts a vibrant student community, and a rich cultural scene that makes studying here a unique and rewarding experience.
