Russian and East European Studies

Program Description

The M.Sc. in Russian and East European Studies is a relatively new course, which began in October 2002.

The structure of the M.Sc. course, which is completed over nine months, is similar to that of the MPhil course in that it includes the three core courses. It does not require the study of relevant language but supports those who wish to develop their language skills.

The aim of the M. Sc. in REES is to provide students with an understanding of major topics and perspectives within Russia and East European Studies based on a critical knowledge of the scholarly literature relevant to the course. Students will also receive training in research skills and methodology to enable them to complete a 15,000 word thesis.

Entry Requirements

Entry to all degree programmes in Oxford is highly competitive and the Russian and East European Studies field is no exception. It is expected that you will have at least a good 2:1 degree from a United Kingdom University or an equivalent qualification. Applications are welcome from students who have had experience in the specific countries they are studying, and from non-UK students. Since English is the language of instruction at Oxford, it is essential that applicants whose own language is not English should have sufficient competence in English to avoid any difficulty in pursuing their studies.
