MA Program in European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies
University of Toronto

The MA Program at the University of Toronto's Centre for European,
Russian, and Eurasian Studies (CERES) offers students the opportunity
to engage in a comprehensive, rigorous and hands-on study program.
CERES has some of the top faculty in their fields and provides
generous funding to MA candidates through fellowships or financial
support for internships, language training and study abroad
opportunities. Our students typically are engaged in research or
training internationally, with advisory and logistical support from
CERES. This field component sets us apart from other MA programs.

In addition to a diverse array of courses, the MA program has an
important practical dimension; we host two or more workshops per year
with key practitioners from the region. This is over and above our
busy agenda of seminars and conferences. Every week, top specialists
from around the world take part in an engaging series of debates at
the Munk Centre. Students are encouraged as well to develop their own
projects and initiatives, and every year CERES students host their own
graduate student conference.

CERES is an excellent place to deepen one's understanding of Central
Asian states and societies, as well as their vibrant external links to
the broader region, however defined. Toronto is a truly multicultural
city of over 2.5 million residents, and it is a major transportation
hub, with myriad nonstop flights to major cities across the US,
Europe, and beyond.

Applications received by February 15, 2008, will be considered for
funding. For more information on the CERES MA program and for
application materials, please consult:
