Wadham welcomes applications from well-qualified students for the MSc/MPhil in Russian and East European Studies, and the DPhil in Area Studies (Russian and East Europe).
The Courses
Although teaching for the MSc, MPhil and DPhil degrees is provided centrally, Wadham provides a supportive and stimulating interdisciplinary environment for graduate students, both through interactions with other graduate students in related fields and through the presence of a college advisor with a strong commitment to the region and its languages.
The MSc and MPhil in Russian and East European Studies are taught by staff from both the Humanities and Social Science Divisions with research interests in the region. Further details of these courses can be found here and here.
The DPhil in Area Studies (Russia and East Europe) is offered as a full time or part time course, taught by staff from the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies.
Russian and East European Studies are a key feature of Wadham’s intellectual life. Historically, Wadham has always had a particularly strong focus on the study of modern languages, and has since extended this to include support for postgraduates working in area studies more generally (see, for instance, our Latin American Studies graduate course page).
