The M.Res. in East European Studies (UCL SSEES) and M.Phil. in Russian and East European Studies (Oxford) are innovative two-year multi- and interdisciplinary programmes build on established Master’s programmes and training. They provide generic and area methods training alongside language-for-research purposes and area-based specialist courses. A total of 26 2-year studentships are attached to UCL SSEES and 12 to the University of Oxford REES.

Doctoral Programmes

A total of 33 Ph.D./D.Phil. studentships are attached to UCL SSEES, University of Oxford REES and University of Birmingham CREES (respectively 14, 7 and 12). The Doctoral Training programmes provide advanced research-specific generic training. CEELBAS students actively engage in the multidisciplinary collaborative work of the Centre and its Research Network, thereby enhancing the doctoral research experience and drawing on the new approaches and understandings generated by the Centre.

Language Training

The Centre is developing and delivering the syllabus, modes of delivery and materials for advanced skills in languages for research. This is being developed through:

• extension of the teaching provision in all languages covered by the Centre in a programme of up to 2 years of language training according to needs
• close collaboration of the Centre with the SOAS-UCL Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL)  Languages of the Wider World
• delivery and dissemination of projects in syllabus design, use of VLE, and materials production commissioned through the CEELBAS Network

The Centre is devoting additional HEFCE funding to devise progression pathways in its postgraduate language training.
