Overview

The European Women's and Gender History (MATILDA) at Central European University (CEU) consortium comprises six universities with established gender studies and history departments staffed by internationally renowned researchers. Together with Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France, Consortium Coordinator), University of Vienna (Austria), University St. Kliment Ohridski in Sofia (Bulgaria), Universià degli Studi di Padova (Italy) and Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany), CEU guides students in exploring the significant role of gender in European history, using an intersectional lens and including Europe’s colonial history.

Careers

By the end of the MATILDA program, students will be able to critically examine political, social, and cultural issues in the context of the rich history of gender in European societies as well as contribute original research that draws upon an interdisciplinary historical approach.

Other requirements

General requirements

Applicants must have:

Bachelor’s degree of not less than three years of full-time studies with a minimum of 180 ECTS credits or equivalent in history and other disciplines in the humanities or social sciences.

However, the foundational courses in the first semester are designed to ensure that students with an undergraduate degree other than history can catch up; and electives can further be chosen with that goal in mind.

Applicants must also meet the minimum language requirements of their chosen home and host university.

A max. 500-word document on why you are interested in (a) a women's and gender history degree and (b) what topic for research (MA thesis) you might already have in mind.
