Master Europe Centrale et Orientale, Asie Centrale et Caucase (MAEAC)

The Master Europe Centrale et Orientale, Asie Centrale et Caucase (MAEAC) is a university master's program that offers tools for understanding the contemporary issues related to the complex space of Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. This region, once qualified as the "Eastern Bloc" or "Soviet Bloc," is in permanent recomposition, with new states emerging and affirming their sovereignty.

Program Description

The MAEAC is characterized by its great diversity, covering a territory that extends from Europe to the Pacific, and deploying complementary but rarely associated disciplines: history, geopolitics, political science, economics, law, and literature. The program is enriched by the activities of the LABEAC, a pluridisciplinary research and competence center of the Global Studies Institute (GSI), which brings together specialists of Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.

Program Structure

The MAEAC is a 6-semester program, with 120 ECTS credits. The program is divided into three parts:

• The first part consists of compulsory teachings of the common core.
