Overview
Kick things off at University College London, one of the world’s top universities, and then take your pick from prestigious partner universities across Eastern Europe. You can choose from four exciting tracks. International Masters in Economy, State and Society (IMESS) from Charles University grads go on to high-impact roles in global organizations, finance, diplomacy, and media.
IMESS is a leading double-degree program in comparative area studies. It focuses on developing in-depth knowledge and understanding of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Key facts
The first year of the program is organised at the University College London (UCL), one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary universities. For the second year of study, students may choose one of the leading universities from Eastern Europe: Charles University, Czechia; Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary; Helsinki University, Finland; Jagiellonian University, Poland; University of Tartu, Estonia; and University of Belgrade, Serbia.
The program is based on interdisciplinary training and language tuition and is completed with a research-based dissertation. You can choose from four study tracks: Economics and Business, Politics and Security, Politics and the International Economy, or History and Society.
After graduation, you can assume leadership positions in distinguished private and public sector organizations (including the IMF or EBRD), banks and financial institutions, diplomacy, and media — or continue with doctoral studies, as many of our graduates have successfully done.
