The ELTE-UNESCO Masters' Degree Program in Minority Studies will be
fielding applications for the 2000-2001 academic year, until March 1,
2000. The Program seeks applicants who have completed, or are in their
final year of, undergraduate studies in social sciences. Preference is
given to sociology students, although students of all social sciences
are encouraged to apply. The Minority Studies Program accepts students
who have outstanding academic qualifications, interests relevant to the
program's intellectual goals, and exhibit a high scholarly potential.
The ELTE-UNESCO Masters' Degree Program in Minority Studies is an
interdisciplinary program housed at ELTE University, in Budapest,
Hungary. Courses in the program are taught by an international faculty,
covering a wide range of social science disciplines. The program
attracts a significant number of visiting lecturers from North America,
Western Europe, and East Central Europe. Students come from primarily
East Central Europe, and are thus culturally, ethnically, and
linguistically diverse. Such diversity in the student body, faculty, and
disciplinary backgrounds is one of the great strengths of the program.
The program's course of study is interdisciplinary in nature, with
students approaching minority and ethnic issues through courses taught
by sociologists, anthropologists, legal specialists, historians,
political scientists, etc. Another unique aspect of the program is its
incorporation of cultural approaches, including the study of relevant
film and literature.
There is a limited opportunity for financial and scholarly support from
UNESCO for students who are accepted to and enroll in the Minority
Studies Program. The Minority Studies Program will accordingly nominate
qualified students to their respective national commissions for
consideration of this support. However, due to the severely limited
number of scholarships, all accepted students are kindly requested to
conduct their own search for financial support among local scholarship
opportunities (i.e. UNESCO Fellowship Bank, local Soros or OSI
Foundations, international exchange programs, etc). The Minority Studies
Program will provide the necessary documentation for accepted applicants
to assist in these individual searches.
