The training in the Balkan Studies Master's degree program focuses on the current problems and conditions of the region, above all from Hungarian and Central European point of view, with a multi- and interdisciplinary, as well as a critical approach. It is recommended primarily to those who want to specialize their existing qualifications, received in social sciences or humanities, with general and practical knowledge of the region, as well as with language skills.
