PART I: INTRODUCTION

Letter from CEU’s President and Rector

Dear Prospective CEU Students

Welcome. CEU continues its original mission to educate hundreds of young graduate students from Central and Eastern Europe, and the post-communist world, towards the best academic standards that the democratic West has developed in an intellectual milieu, cultivating the values of democracy, open society and scholarly humanity.

Furthermore, CEU is expanding its mission to invite students from other emerging democracies but its gates are open also to students from established democracies; in short to all those who want to learn about the history, the present, the economy, and the legal and sociopolitical issues, as well as gender problems, and environmental problems, that abound in these parts of the world.

CEU is aiming at becoming a global niche, creating new knowledge on the dimension of the shifting boundary between the local and the universal. Also, CEU considers at the center of its tasks the formulation of research-rooted policy papers in diverse areas and training students for thinking out and writing such policy papers.

All these research, teaching, and other activities take place within the framework of its twelve research oriented teaching units, a Humanities Center, a Center for Policy Studies, and the Open Society Archives.

Your

Yehuda Elkana

CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY: AN OVERVIEW

MISSION: DEVOTED TO EDUCATION AND OPEN SOCIETY Central European University (CEU) is an internationally recognized institution of post-graduate education in social sciences and humanities. It seeks to contribute to the development of open societies in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (CEE/fSU) by promoting a system of education in which ideas are creatively, critically, and comparatively examined. CEU serves as an advanced center of research and policy analysis and facilitates academic dialogue while preparing its graduates to serve as the region's next generation of leaders and scholars. The CEU Fellowship Program has been a direct means of supporting the university’s mission to develop and sustain open societies, democracy, rule of law, free markets, tolerance, and political and cultural pluralism in the region. However, it has become clear over the last decade that Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are not the only parts of the world experiencing the development of more open societies, and also that the main economic, political, social and cultural phenomena taking place in the region could be better understood if studied within a comparative approach which integrates the local into a global perspective. To address the challenges resulting from this spreading democratization and also considering the need for a wider, comparative perspective, CEU decided that from the 2001/2002 academic year, while continuing to focus on individuals and organizations in the CEE/fSU region, the CEU Fellowship Program would be extended worldwide, with particular emphasis on students in emerging democracies.

A BRIEF HISTORY Central European University was established in 1991 as an institution committed to promoting educational development throughout Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. CEU is a unitary institution, under a common Board of Trustees and Senate, with teaching sites in Hungary and Poland. Its primary administrative offices are in Budapest, and the language of instruction and communication is English. The concept of an institution of higher learning in Central Europe, one which would bring together students and faculty from a diverse regional and international background in an open and liberal academic setting, was first discussed in 1989 by a small group of concerned individuals, many of them former dissidents, in Dubrovnik, Croatia, then part of former Yugoslavia. The setting was the Inter-University Centre, which was for several years the location of courses in social sciences offered to just such an audience. Funding and support for the participants taking the courses came from George Soros, and it was a natural progression that, as the region began its rapid transformation -with varying results- Soros and those who shared his vision would begin to prepare for the new conditions which would emerge.

Beginning with 100 students in 1991, CEU has grown rapidly and now enrolls about 850 students from over 45 countries each year.

CONCEPT OF AN OPEN SOCIETY An open society is a society based on the recognition that nobody has a monopoly on truth, that different people have different views and interests, and that there is a need for institutions to protect the rights of all people and to allow them to live together in peace. The term "open society" was popularized by the philosopher Karl Popper in his 1945 book Open Society and Its Enemies. Broadly speaking, an open society is characterized by a reliance on the rule of law, the existence of a democratically elected government, a diverse and vigorous civil society, and respect for minorities and minority opinions.

REGISTRATION AND ACCREDITATION CEU has an absolute charter from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the State Education Department. This is the legal instrument which allows CEU to operate and maintain a degree-granting institution.

Central European University is a Candidate for Accreditation by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA; (+1 215) 662-5606. Candidate for Accreditation is a status of affiliation with a regional accrediting commission that indicates that an institution has achieved recognition and is progressing toward, but is not assured of, accreditation. It has provided evidence of sound planning, seems to have the resources to implement the plans, and appears to have the potential for obtaining its goals within a reasonable period of time. Candidate for Accreditation status was granted to CEU in June 1999.

CEU is recognized as a foreign educational institution with the right to conduct educational activities in Hungary and whose degrees may be nostrified by the Ministry of Education and Culture in accordance with relevant statutes.

CEU ALUMNI As of 2001 the number of CEU alumni has grown to approximately 3,700 individuals. Through the Alumni Affairs Office, CEU maintains contacts with about 80 percent of its graduates, and provides support in networking among alumni, job placement and exchange of career-related information as well as alumni-student career mentoring, recently initiated by the Alumni Affairs Office and the career advising services. The CEU alumni program offers a number of services and benefits, fully described on the alumni web pages at www.ceu.hu/students_alumni.html.

As indicated by the placement statistics in the following tables, 65 percent of CEU’s graduates enter professional careers after completing their course of study. The three top areas of employment for CEU graduates are in the spheres of education, private sector business, and central and local government. A good number of CEU alumni hold positions at universities and research institutes, public organizations, reputable companies, and government administrations, consistent with CEU’s mission to contribute to the development of open societies, democracy, rule of law, free markets, tolerance and political and cultural pluralism in CEE/fSU and other parts of the world experiencing emerging democracies.

Students from developed democracies find in CEU a stepping stone toward an international career focused on EU expansion, CEE/fSU policy and grantmaking, the transfer of advanced skills and knowledge to deal with the main economic, political, social and cultural phenomena taking place in the region as part of global development. Those interested in an academic career find an advantage in CEU’s comparative approach and analysis of the “shifting boundary between the local and the universal.”

7


Thirty-five percent of CEU’s graduates continue their studies in doctoral or other advanced research programs primarily in North America and Western Europe, thus accounting for the relatively high number of alumni currently residing in these parts of the world. The CEU alumni network operates from every country in CEE/fSU, and in the United Kingdom and the United States. Major alumni events are held at CEU at least twice per year, as well as in every country where alumni volunteers are active.

Tiffany Faykus PHOTOHistory 2001United States of America

“I can honestly say that my time at CEU has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The opportunity to study with students from such diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and to learn from such a diverse pool of talented professors, will undoubtedly provide immense benefit in any and all of my future endeavors. I thoroughly enjoyed the thought provoking and often challenging lectures, the spirited debates among my classmates that often followed, as well as the friendships that developed when the “warring parties” were reconciled. I was consistently impressed with the professional caliber of both my fellow students and my professors. As an American, I soon noticed several qualities that distinguish students from this region from the students I worked with in the US. First of all, their dedication and commitment to their studies was at first a bit intimidating, but soon I was humbled to realize that these students saw the opportunity to further their education as a privilege, not as something to be taken for granted as do most American students. I fully expect to see many of my fellow students’ names appear as the authors of prize-winning books and articles, as leaders and participants of headline-making panel discussions and conferences and as professors in some of the finest universities spanning the globe.”

“CEU enabled me to choose and define with more precision the field of my professional occupation, while at the same time making me a much more qualified and skillful medievalist. The department’s program, additional research grants, as well as the considerable scholarly resources of Budapest provided ideal conditions for my study. Some lasting friendships and many precious acquaintances were also born during my time at CEU as well as a special affection for Budapest. All these moments keep my CEU experience an important part of my present professional and personal life. ”

“The year I spent at CEU was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. The rigorous nature of the Master’s program and the opportunities to work with excellent faculty are the aspects that undeniably come to mind when I think about Central European University. The most important and enriching experience, however, was the opportunity to learn and live in a multicultural environment, and to make friends with people from all over the world.”

Joanna Wijaszka PHOTO ????IRES 1993 PolandCurrent Position: First Secretary, Department of EU Affairs, Polish Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden

“The university itself was not only conveniently located, but above all offered a great opportunity for meeting people from the countries of our region and high-quality professors of various backgrounds, sharing opinions, making good friends, as well as learning about the problems and prospects for Central and Eastern Europe. It has also proven instrumental to my professional work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my understanding of European affairs, and the susceptibilities of our closest neighbors. I hope that all those who had the privilege to study at Central European University would join me in wishing of many successful endeavors to the university and memorable experiences to its students. ”

In addition to the regular full-time degree programs, CEU offers non-degree Doctoral Support Programs (DSP) available to graduate students who are enrolled in doctoral programs at other institutions of higher education and who wish to utilize CEU’s innovative programs, international faculty, and resources to assist the development of their dissertations. Such students may apply to spend one or two semesters at CEU and are eligible to apply for financial aid. DSP students may apply at any time. However, those who submit an application after CEU’s general applications deadline will be expected to make their own arrangements to take the required English language tests or other department-specific tests. During their time at CEU, Doctoral Support students receive consultation and supervision from CEU faculty. There is no requirement to attend classes, but non-degree students are encouraged to interact with the other program participants and faculty. Currently, the following departments and programs sponsor Doctoral Support students: Economics, Gender and Culture, History, Legal Studies, Mathematics and its Applications, Medieval Studies, Nationalism, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology.

Student Exchange and other Non-degree ProgramsThrough a number of student and faculty exchange agreements with other institutions of higher education, each year CEU hosts approximately 25-30 exchange or visiting students. Normally these students remain at CEU for a semester, during which time they may be required to take courses for credit or do independent research with an individual supervisor. Such exchange agreements exist with the University of California system, the Columbia University School of Law, Cornell University, Emory University, the University of Georgia, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, Leiden University, the University of Toronto, etc.

Students may also enroll at CEU as independent visiting students, and take courses for credit or audit classes if spaces are available and consent is granted by the faculty member teaching the course. Visiting students are normally expected to pay per credit. For more information on the Visiting Student Policy, please visit the CEU website at http://www.ceu.hu (“Student-Related Policies and Procedures” section under “Student Services and Alumni”), or contact the Student Records Office at (36-1) 327-3217 or [email protected].

A separate study abroad program is available for undergraduate students from North America to study at CEU’s Budapest teaching site. For more information on the Bard/CEU Study Abroad Program, please see “Joint Program with Bard College: Study Abroad in Budapest” in this Bulletin or write to [email protected].

TYPES OF DEGREE PROGRAMS AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Master’s Degree ProgramsA CEU Master’s degree program typically runs on an academic calendar of ten months, including a three-week pre-session which provides training to develop the research, academic writing and computer skills necessary to conduct graduate level academic work, two 12-week semesters, and a two-month spring session during which the student prepares a Master’s thesis or research project. Some programs run for 11 months, and the Master’s program in Economics runs for two academic years.

The graduation requirements for a typical CEU Master’s degree are the successful completion of 32 taught course credits, a Master’s thesis and its defense (for which 8 credits are awarded) plus—when applicable—the achievement of a satisfactory level of academic writing in English. In the program descriptions that follow, variations in the academic calendar and degree requirements due to a program’s specific accrediting body’s regulations are noted.

Open University Research DegreeCentral European University is recognized as a sponsoring institution by the Open University (UK). Students of the CEU Program on Gender and Culture may conduct work towards British research degree programs (Master of Philosophy) while at CEU. Such students spend two years in an independently tailored program of taught courses and research developed in consultation with CEU faculty.

Doctoral StudiesA CEU doctoral program normally takes three to five years to complete. Probationary doctoral candidacy (the period during which a student has been accepted into a doctoral program but has not yet completed the comprehensive exam and a thesis prospectus) on average lasts one year. During the first year of doctoral study probationary doctoral candidates must complete a minimum of course credits as specified by the department. Dependent upon the successful completion of the comprehensive examination and a dissertation proposal (or an extensive research paper), the candidate is approved for full doctoral candidacy. Doctoral

11

mailto:[email protected]


http://www.ceu.hu/


candidacy is the period during which the student pursues research toward the dissertation; this period normally lasts an additional two to four years.

Students approved for full doctoral candidacy are encouraged to study abroad to pursue their dissertation research and to build international intellectual contacts. This allows CEU doctoral scholars to play an active role in the global development of social sciences and humanities. CEU sponsors a Doctoral Research Support Grant Program, which is designed to cover the living expenses of CEU doctoral students while studying abroad. The Doctoral Research Support scheme is an integral part of the doctoral program. With the advice of their doctoral supervisor, department head, or external supervisor, students can apply to recognized universities or institutes in Western Europe, North America or other parts of the world to spend up to six months as “visiting/research scholars.” CEU has a growing list of cooperative agreements with institutions willing to host doctoral students. Among those are the University of California, Cambridge University, Cornell University, the University of Georgia , Emory University, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, Oxford University, the University of Toronto, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the World Law Institute.

Additionally, CEU collaborates closely with the Civic Education Project, a program that supports young regional scholars in finding placement in their home countries or in other countries in the region. These programs offer CEU students an additional edge: experience in another country, access to resources which enhance their research and a means by which to establish contacts for professional placement upon the completion of their degrees.

The MA ProgramThe CEU Department of Economics offers a two-year Master’s program registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US). The first year serves as an introduction to the core areas of standard economics, while the second year offers more advanced specialized field courses.

The Department of Economics trains economists from various regions of the world, and enables them to apply the tools of modern analysis to the problems faced by different kinds of economies. The department provides students with an understanding of the functioning of markets and the role of the state in an

12


economy relying predominantly on market allocation. Students attend rigorous courses in the most standard fields of economics, which serve to introduce them to economic analysis and market institutions such as banks and financial markets. The department also provides instruction in writing and research methodology. Students undertake individual research projects, focused on topics of their interest, with faculty supervision.

Entry Requirements for the MA ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the Economics Department must obtain a TOEFL score of 570 (or CTOEFL 230) and demonstrate advanced mathematical skills by passing an examination in basic calculus, probability theory and linear algebra. Applicants are required to indicate their preferred research topics at the time of application. Successful applicants come from a variety of vocational and educational backgrounds; a previous degree in economics is not required. Many students in the past have held scientific or technical degrees (e.g., mathematics, engineering, computer science and physics) and have demonstrated high mathematical aptitude in their applications.

The department also accepts applications from exceptional candidates who wish to enroll directly in the second year of the standard two-year MA degree program in Economics. Such applicants receive the MA degree in Economics in one year. Applicants who wish to apply for the one-year MA degree option must indicate this in a separate cover letter, which should also outline all relevant courses taken, but demonstrating that they have achieved graduate-level proficiency in the core areas of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, econometrics and mathematical methods. Copies of relevant official transcripts should be attached in the original language along with a certified English translation. The department may administer additional testing of the applicant’s aptitude in these areas.

The Economics Department will not consider incomplete MA applications.

MA Program StructureFirst YearThe first year of the program starts with a three-week Pre-Session during which students participate in intensive mathematics and statistics courses, computer training and a course in English for academic purposes. Conversational Hungarian-language classes are also offered during this period. The Pre-Session is followed by two 12-week semesters and a two-month spring session. The first year of the program focuses on the core courses in economics, such as macro- and microeconomics, and quantitative methods. Some field courses are also offered. In the fall semester all courses are mandatory; over the winter and spring semesters, students have mandatory and optional courses. Over the summer break students are encouraged to do data collection in their countries for their Master’s theses or for the applied econometrics project (if the appropriate course is chosen during the second year).

Students must take a minimum of 56 taught credits during the two years of the MA program, including a minimum of 26 taught credits in the first year. Credits taken in the first year over and above the minimum 26 can be set against the 30 taught credits which otherwise have to be taken in the second year.

Second YearThe second year consists of two 12-week semesters and a two-and-a-half-month research break during which students work closely with research supervisors to prepare their MA theses. The second year shifts the focus away from traditional courses in core theory to more advanced field topics in economics. Students must take a minimum of 30 taught credits in the second year plus 12 credits for their MA theses.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the program, students will have developed analytical skills on a sufficiently high level to be able to undertake doctoral studies or, by returning to their countries, to make genuine contributions in government, the private sector or academia. At present, CEU alumni of the Economics Department with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:

Public Sector: State-owned Business 3Self-employed 1

Research OpportunitiesResearch opportunities within the department are available to a limited number of students, especially through research activity undertaken by faculty. Students are also encouraged to pursue independent research under close faculty supervision using the main resources available at CEU. The Student Advising Center and the Department of Economics collaborate in order to inform students of research opportunities available at other academic institutions and regional research boards.

The MS ProgramStarting with the academic year 2002/2003, Central European University (CEU) in cooperation with the International Training Center for Bankers (ITCB) will offer a two-year Master of Science program in Banking and Finance. Current developments in the CEE/fSU financial markets create a need for well-trained bankers and financial analysts able to cope both with the specific problems faced by the emerging market economies and with the challenges of the new trends in the global financial markets. The Master of Science program in Banking and Finance is designed to train professionals by providing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field. It covers state-of-the-art knowledge about the most important issues in banking and finance, nsuring a comprehensive view of financial markets, investment policy and risk management. Graduates of this program, apart from mastering a wide range of professional skills based on a sound economic background, will be able to understand and carry out analyses and forecasts, and to participate in decision-making processes at various levels.

The program will be submitted for registration with the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

Entry Requirements for the MS ProgramProfessionals currently working in banking and in the financial sector can apply, as well as prospective candidates who would like to start a career in the field. Two years of work experience is generally required. Admission for part-time study is also available. The admissions process follows the university general admissions calendar, and the entry requirements are the same as for the Master of Arts in Economics . In addition, applicants to the MS program in Banking and Finance must arrange to take the GMAT individually and submit a score together with the application materials by January 7, or at the latest by February 15, 2002.

Financial AidThe Master of Science in Banking and Finance is a fee-paying program (CEU tuition fee per academic year). A limited number of external scholarships are available on a competitive basis for the best-qualified candidates.

The MS Program StructureFull-time students are required to complete the degree in four semesters. The program consists of core courses, specialized courses and optional courses, spread over the four semesters of study. Two specializationsare available: Risk Management and Financial Engineering, and Investment Analysis and Fund Management. Students have to take a total of 52 taught credits (30 credits from core courses, 12 credits from specialized courses and 10 credits from optional courses) and write a thesis, which earns 14 credits. The high standard of teaching is ensured by outstanding professors and professionals from a wide range of fields from both CEU and ITCB, as well as other internationally acknowledged experts.

The PhD ProgramThe need for well-trained economists has been steadily increasing in CEE/fSU and other emerging democracies over the last decade. The aim of the PhD program in Economics is to prepare students for careers in teaching, research or government service and to prepare researchers to participate actively in the analysis of the fundamental economic questions facing market and transition economies. The program is designed to ensure that students acquire rigorous and state-of-the-art knowledge of core areas of economic theory and research methodology and to offer research opportunities under the close supervision of excellent international and local faculty.

Research OpportunitiesResearch opportunities are available to PhD students. Apart from using the library and computer research

Graduation requirements: 30 course credits and thesis (10 credits) Awarding body: University of Manchester, UK, and CEU

The ProgramThe Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy aims to create a network of collaborating scientists and environmentally-trained professionals in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is hoped that these individuals will work together to solve environmental problems common to the region. The foundations for this network are laid by the department’s Master of Science (MS) program, which provides students with a combination of scientific, technological, socio-scientific, legal and policy vocational training, preparing them for careers in a range of environmental fields. The aim is to give students an understanding of all aspects of the environment, of how to develop sound and sustainable policies, and of matters concerned with solving environmental problems.

The department emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to solving environmental problems. In order to maintain a proper cultural balance, leading environmental academics from the region, Western Europe and North America contribute to both taught curricula and fieldwork. The program is based in Budapest but may include field trips to other parts of the region.

The Environmental Sciences and Policy Master’s program is validated by the University of Manchester (UK). Registration of the program by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) is in progress.

Entry Requirements In addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy must write a 250-word statement on their career goals and reasons for applying to the program. Successful applicants must have at least a Bachelor’s degree in any degree subject related to environmental sciences and policy. Typically these include sciences, engineering, law, geography, economics and sociology. Other first degrees such as journalism, history and computer science are also considered, although such candidates must hold a relevant first degree and demonstrate a clear commitment to the subject, usually through work experience or other extra-curricular activities. Alumni ProfileGraduates of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy leave CEU with a solid understanding of the social, political and technical problems faced by Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in this field, as well as a good knowledge of how government policy and social attitudes can affect these issues. In the past, alumni have found or returned to jobs in local and national government, NGOs and academia. Many have responsible positions as advisors on environmental policy and the environmental implications of company and state activities, thus assisting in a variety of environmental planning, regulation and management activities. Alumni are currently employed in the fields of forestry, education, government, geology, health, industry, conservation and journalism.

At present, CEU alumni of the Environmental Sciences and Policy Department with whom the university is in contact are studying or employed in the following fields:

The initiation of an independent PhD program in Gender Studies is under consideration by the academic fora of the university.

The ProgramThe Program on Gender and Culture is a post-graduate program in Gender Studies offering MA and MPhil degrees, as well as –in cooperation with the CEU History Department– a PhD Program with a specialization in Gender Studies (degree in History). In addition, the program serves as an organizational base for non-degree studies in various forms, as well as for other activities in the field. The Program on Gender and Culture seeks to attract students and young scholars from a wide range of disciplines in social sciences and humanities and with a genuine interest in gender studies and interdisciplinarity. Gender has been established in the last decades as one of the basic categories of scholarly analysis, offering insight into the dynamics and intricacies of social and cultural change and promoting the production of socially relevant knowledge. Women’s and gender studies are devoted to the critique of dominant patterns of the construction of knowledge and to social critique. Women’s and gender studies are intended to contribute to a better understanding of the construction, the meaning and the consequences of gender and of the relation between male and female in society, culture and systems of knowledge. For example, gender studies analyzes systems of hierarchy, asymmetry, equality and difference, reciprocity and subordination, and it seeks to develop integrative perspectives on the entangled relations among gender, race, and class. Focusing on gender in this sense means focusing on social systems as a whole.

One focus of the Program on Gender and Culture is inquiry into the relation between the global advancement of women during the last few decades, on the one hand, and growing inequality on a global scale- including inequality between women– on the other. Another important focus is related to theoretical and –empirical inquiry into the relations between the symbolic and the social order.

Integrative perspectives in women's and gender studies as promoted in the Program on Gender and Culture need to be based on scholarship of local and at the same time global relevance. With an important, but not exclusive, focus on Central and Eastern Europe, the Master’s program in Gender Studies seeks to contribute to the development of this type of knowledge. For example, analyzing gender in Central and Eastern Europe goes beyond looking at the region as something “backward” in comparison to the “West” or alternatively as something “specific” stemming from “indigenous” factors. The complexity of gender is therefore understood as a product of the often unequal entangling of global and local forces in any particular region.

The program is registered to grant the Master of Arts degree in Gender Studies by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US). MPhil students receive a degree from the Open University

23


(UK), and CEU is the sponsoring institution. PhD students receive their degree through the History Department of CEU, which is registered to grant the PhD degree by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

Entry Requirements In addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the Program on Gender and Culture must attach a 500-word typewritten essay of the relevance in their academic/professional background to further studies at CEU and their future career goals. Doctoral Support Program candidates should also submit: 1) a three- to five-page description of their PhD thesis including research questions, theory and methodology, and the current status of their project; 2) a one- to two-page proposal of research to be carried out at CEU; 3) a letter of support from their PhD supervisor.

Alumni ProfileAt present, CEU alumni of the Program on Gender and Culture with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:


Master of Arts ProgramStudents registered for the MA degree in Gender Studies will be required to complete 40 credit hours (32 course credits, 4 research colloquium credits and 4 thesis-writing credits). The two mandatory courses among these have the general themes of Introduction into the Epistemologies of Gender Studies and History and Theory of Women’s Movements and Feminism. MA students write a research thesis under the guidance of a faculty member who serves as an advisor. The thesis defense takes place at the end of the spring session as an oral exam.

Master of Philosophy ProgramStudents enrolled in the Master’s program may choose to apply to register for the MPhil track at the end of Semester I. Selections are based on academic performance and a 20-page thesis proposal. Primarily a research degree, this two-year course of study allows students to explore their field of interest in much greater depth than the MA. Registered students take 16 credits of coursework in Semester I, 2 credits of Academic Writing in Semester II, and two terms of the MPhil Seminar (2 credits). Students are expected to write and to defend a thesis (minimum 120 pages).

The Doctor of Philosophy Program (History Department, PhD in Comparative History of Central, South-eastern and Eastern Europe, Specialization in Gender Studies)The first year of studies in the PhD Program is dedicated to coursework, tutorials and preparation for the comprehensive exam to be held at the end of the first year. Mandatory classes must be taken in the History Department, elective classes are to be chosen mainly from the curriculum of the Program on Gender and Culture and relevant offers in History and other departments. Having passed the exam, students are admitted to doctoral candidacy. The second year is dedicated to research at home or in the field. In addition, possibilities for short-term study abroad at universities with a high international reputation are offered. The concluding year of studies is dedicated to thesis writing, a research seminar and some teaching duties. In order to receive their degrees, students have to complete 56 credits and defend their PhD dissertations.

Doctoral Specialization in Gender StudiesThe doctoral specialization is open to enrolled CEU PhD students who wish to concentrate in gender studies. The specialization requires 24 credits of gender studies coursework including 4 credits from a directed seminar, 20 credits from other program course offerings and a final project.

Doctoral Support Program

24


The Doctoral Support Program (DSP) is available to graduate students registered in an accredited PhD program at another institution of higher education. During their term at CEU, students will receive consultation and supervision from CEU faculty and a range of possibilities for presenting and discussing their work. Advanced PhD students would be particularly suitable applicants for this program. Before leaving CEU, DSP students are required to write a three- to five-page thesis progress report.

Additional Courses and ActivitiesIn addition to degree and non-degree studies, the Program on Gender and Culture offers other courses and activities in the field. In conjunction with the Open Society Institute (OSI), in particular with OSI’s Higher Education Support Program (HESP), the Program on Gender and Culture supports the following activities: Regional Seminar in Gender and Culture (RSGC), the summer university course on Gender and Culture (SUN), and numerous Curriculum Resource Center visits. The program also supports short-term HESP visiting fellowships, translation projects and workshops, and continuous cooperation with other women’s studies coordinator training seminars, database development and cooperation with other women's studies centers and associations. The guidance of and cooperation in various research activities and the organization of conferences, guest lectures, etc., is also vital in ensuring lively scholarly debate and exchange in and on gender studies with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe.

The ProgramThe Department of History offers integrated graduate training at two levels. Whereas the Master’s program and doctoral studies are perceived as a continuum, with the MA constituting a preparation for the PhD (at CEU or elsewhere), both may be pursued as programs in their own right. Focusing on the regions of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, a solid training in history –embedded in the context of the neighboring social science and humanities disciplines– is meant to prepare young intellectuals for a variety of academic and other careers in which they can assert a high level of public awareness and an ability to bridge the gap between the local and the global.

The Master’s ProgramThe Department of History offers a one-year Master of Arts degree in Central European History, registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US). The program explores comparative themes in the history of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe within a wider European context. While it is loosely arranged into “early-modern” (1500–1789), “modern” (1789–1914) and “contemporary” (post 1914) streams, there is an increasing endeavor to transgress chronological boundaries, as well as to range freely between sub-disciplines. A special emphasis is placed on topics highlighting the interplay of indigenous experience and external influence, which supplies the historical individuality of the regions of the European landmass east of the Rhine. Such themes include patterns of social development, cultural history and everyday life from the Reformation through the Enlightenment to modernity; problems of modernization, backwardness and unequal development; modern ideologies, nationhood and the nation state; varieties of authoritarianism such as fascism and communism and their historical reflection, etc.

In order to foster a critical spirit of inquiry and high standards of verification, the agenda is supplemented by a solid training in methodology, especially the epistemological issues related to the study of history and historiography. The department is dedicated to combining academic excellence with social relevance, and pursues the above objectives while promoting ideas of a tolerant and pluralistic social and political order free from religious, ethnic, gender and class biases. Toward these ends, the Department of History has assembled an international teaching staff representing a wide variety of orientations in contemporary historical scholarship (Sozialgeschichte, histoire des mentalités, intellectual history, postmodernism, etc.,). For more information on faculty profiles, course descriptions and recent MA thesis topics, please see the department’s web page.

Master’s Program StructureDepartmental offerings are divided into a pre-session, two semesters and a spring session. The Pre-Session is designed to consolidate students’ language skills and to introduce them to resources both within CEU and in Budapest. Semester I and Semester II consist of intensive coursework and lay the groundwork for the Master’s thesis. The spring session is largely research-oriented: students consult with their thesis supervisors and write their theses. Throughout the course of the year, a variety of workshops, seminars and lectures are given by visiting professors.

Master’s Program Entry RequirementsIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the Department of History must provide a 500-word outline of their proposed research topic for the MA thesis, which will be weighted heavily in the admissions decision. Applicants should indicate a preferred stream of interest (early modern, modern or contemporary) and, if known, which courses or professors they see as especially relevant to their interests.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the program, graduates will have solid experience with research methodology, academic writing and historical interpretation. Graduates will be well-qualified to pursue a wide range of further study or career options, including the History PhD program at CEU, advanced studies at their home universities, specialized research projects, journalism or government service.

At present, CEU alumni of the History Department with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:

The PhD ProgramThe Department of History offers a three-year doctoral program registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) in the Comparative History of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe within a wider European context. PhD research at the CEU Department of History should be innovative insofar as the topic is concerned, and also on theoretical and methodological levels. The department especially welcomes students with PhD projects that contribute to:

the integration of the study of different layers of historical processes (social, cultural, economic, political)

the integration of history and theory (conscious reflection of the basic approaches of research) comparative approaches in historiography (Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe being not

“different” and “incomparable,” on the one hand, or a “belated copy” of developments elsewhere, on the other)

Students are encouraged to extend their PhD studies by applying for CEU Doctoral Research Support, which funds study abroad for up to six months. The department supports this additional study abroad in the form of exchange agreements with other universities and through supporting students applying for external scholarships in European and American universities for non-degree study. Students from the Department of History have been awarded competitive grants from outstanding institutions, such as the University of Toronto, Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Columbia, Maryland and Michigan.

The first year of the program concentrates on coursework and preparation for the comprehensive examination, which focuses on major topics in the comparative history of two of the three regions mentioned above. The second year is devoted to research in relevant archives and libraries. The third year is spent mainly in residence at CEU participating in the PhD research seminar, writing the thesis, and fulfilling teaching assistantship duties.

History PhD Specializations: Gender Studies, Nationalism Individuals seeking admission to the doctoral program may also opt to pursue a specialization in Gender Studies or in Nationalism Studies. Students pursuing these options enroll directly into the Program on Gender and Culture or the Nationalism Studies Program during year one, and enter the History PhD program for years two and three. Candidates for the PhD program with a specialization in Gender Studies or in Nationalism Studies should follow the general application requirements for the doctoral program. For each specialization a joint committee reviews applications.

PhD Entry RequirementsIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the PhD program should submit letters of recommendation from three professors familiar with their post-graduate work and a three-page research proposal. Applications are welcome from candidates with an MA or the equivalent.

Degrees offered: Master of Arts in International Relations and European StudiesA PhD Track in International Relations is available under the PhD in Political Science

Average length of study: MA: ten months PhD: three years

Graduation requirements: MA: 32 course credits; Master’s thesis (8 credits)PhD: 32 course credits; comprehensive examination; dissertation and its defense

The ProgramThe Department of International Relations and European Studies (IRES) offers an MA in International Relations and European Studies, and organizes the International Relations (IR) Track within the Political Science Department’s PhD program at CEU. The MA degree was conferred for the first time in June 1994 and was accredited by the Open University (UK) until August 2000. Registration with the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) is in process.

The MA program builds on the strong tradition of the discipline of international relations in Western Europe and the United States. It aims at educating students to become analytically trained and informed observers of contemporary international affairs, with a special emphasis on Europe. All students receive training in research methods and an education in the major theories of international relations, international political economy, and European integration. The international relations component of the program includes the classical canon of foreign policy analysis and security studies. The international political economy component covers the political economy of policy reform, of foreign direct investment, and of international financial organizations and financial markets. The European studies component, in addition to focusing on the European Union, covers the comparative politics of Western Europe as well as Central and Eastern Europe.

While taught and administered by the Department of International Relations and European Studies, the IR

30


Track within the Political Science Department's PhD program follows all the general rules of the PhD program in the Political Science Department. It functions as a regular track specialization for the PhD degree in Political Science. In the first year, students have to take 32 credits of coursework and present a research prospectus at a comprehensive examination. Those taking a major in IR have to get at least 16 credits from this track; those who take it for a minor need at least 8 credits in IR. On the basis of this coursework and passing the comprehensive examination, students are selected to continue with their PhD studies, which consist of pure research and writing for two years.

Given the short lenght of the PhD program, the proposed PhD courses are of a slightly different kind than MA courses. They take certain central aspects of IR (such as Constructivist Approaches in International Relations, The New Political Economy of Development, Approaches to Foreign Policy Analysis, and Exposed to World Markets: The Political Economy of Sectors) and explicitly attempt to introduce students to typical research and research designs in these respective fields. The aim is to get students acquainted with the criteria they are expected to meet for their academic work, first the prospectus and then the PhD dissertation. Moreover, in Semesters II and III, there is a prospectus seminar which functions as a research workshop in which first year PhD students discuss the drafts for their prospectus, while more advanced PhD students present more advanced research outlines, or dissertation chapters.

For additional information on the Track in International Relations, please refer to the Department of Political Science in this Bulletin.

Entry RequirementsIn addition to the general CEU admissions requirements, IRES requires all applicants to the MA program to submit a written statement of approximately 500 words outlining the applicant’s study and research interests. Applicants to the PhD track should refer to the entry requirements for the PhD in Political Science. A joint IRES-Political Science selection committee will evaluate PhD applications.

Accepted applicants come from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, although preference will be given to students with a degree in social sciences (including history, law and philosophy). However, others with a demonstrated interest in international affairs and public policy may also be strong candidates for admission.

Alumni ProfileAlumni of the MA program continue their studies in MA or PhD programs internationally, take positions in business, diplomacy, government or media, or pursue careers in the NGO sector, teaching and research. At present, CEU alumni of the International Relations and European Studies Department with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:


Program Structure The MA program consists of a Pre-Session, two semesters and a spring session, with each segment serving as a foundation for the following segment.

The Master’s Programs

33

http://www.ceu.hu/legal/legdir.html


The three programs – Comparative Constitutional Law, International Business Law and Human Rights – each examine legal (respectively, human rights) traditions in both civil law (continental) and common law systems.

The program in Comparative Constitutional Law includes intensive courses on the main problems of constitutionalism, on human and minority rights and on issues that are relevant to the international legal system.

The program in International Business Law focuses on the fundamental institutions of a market economy with special reference to international business transactions. There are opportunities for in-depth examination of theoretical, financial and contractual matters, and methods of dispute resolution. A strong concentration of courses on the law of the European Union is offered for students focusing on this area of international business law.

The Human Rights Program is intended to provide a theoretical grounding in traditional and alternative approaches to human rights. It offers practical instruction on the specific legal mechanisms and institutional processes which organizations can use to effectively approach the human rights issues confronting Central and Eastern Europe today, while including analysis of major relevant events elsewhere in the world, such as the American civil rights movement. Those students who have qualified for an MA in Human Rights, and who already have a law degree, may further qualify to participate in an intensive course of studies in the law of human rights. Upon completion of their studies, such students will be issued an LLM degree in Human Rights.

Whereas the majority of the courses are tailored to the requirements of each program, some of the courses offered are common to all. In addition to a minimal number of mandatory courses, a considerable variety of elective courses are offered, allowing specialization according to the individual's interest.

The LLM programs in Comparative Constitutional Law, Human Rights and International Business Law as well as the Master’s program in Human Rights are registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

New CEU-COLPI Human Rights Fellows Program The Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute (COLPI), part of the Open Society Institute, joins with Central European University to announce the Human Rights Fellows Program. The program will be conducted by COLPI and CEU, in cooperation with human rights non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Central Asia (including Mongolia). The aim of the program is to support the further development of a civil liberties network compose of lawyers and activists or scholars in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Central Asia. Only applicants from countries in these regions are eligible to participate in the program.

The Human Rights Fellows Program is a two-year program of study and practical work experience. Five applicants from Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia including Mongolia and the former Soviet Union will be selected in 2002 to participate in the program.

Applicants to this program must follow the general CEU admissions requirements, found under the “Prospective Students” section of this Bulletin, in addition to the Master’s entry requirements for the Legal Studies Department, listed below. Additionally, applicants to the Human Rights Fellows Program must be nominated by a non-governmental organization which is concerned with human rights. In their letter (to be submitted concurrently with other application materials), the nominating NGO should commit to employing the applicant for at least one year upon his or her completion of studies at CEU.

For more information about this new program please consult the CEU website at http://www.ceu.hu/legal/legalpro.html.

The SJD ProgramThe SJD program gives students an opportunity to work towards a doctoral degree in law with a combination of independent research and coursework. While emphasis is on the former, students are encouraged to enroll in or audit courses during the 35-month program. The SJD program is academic and is primarily oriented toward the training of future legal scholars.

The program is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

http://www.ceu.hu/legal/legalpro.html


Doctoral Support Program Doctoral candidates who are enrolled in an accredited SJD or PhD program at another university are eligible to participate in the SJD program for up to one academic year. The Doctoral Support Program presupposes physical presence at CEU and allows the candidate to participate in the SJD program, including supervised research.

Master’s Entry Requirements

General Requirements Applicants to all three programs (Comparative Constitutional Law, International Business Law and Human Rights) must meet the general CEU admissions requirements. Applicants to the LLM and MA programs must attach a 300-word handwritten essay, on a specific legal or human rights issue of special interest to them. In addition, applicants to the LLM programs must have completed a law degree or be in the last year of law school and expect to graduate before the beginning of August 2002, i.e., the beginning of the academic year for the Legal Studies Department. Students with a degree in political science or international relations may also apply for admission to the Comparative Constitutional Law Program. Applicants to the Human Rights Program must have at least a BA degree by the time they start studies at CEU.

Admissions Examination

StructureThe Legal Studies admissions examination is composed of three tests: the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL); a Legal Reasoning Test; a short academic essay of 45 minutes, corresponding to whichever program the candidate is applying. In countries where Soros foundations operate, the local CEU coordinator or representative will administer these tests. The test day will be structured as follows: the TOEFL1; the Legal Reasoning Test then the academic essay (or essays, if the candidate applies to more than one of the CEU Legal Studies programs).

Selection of candidates consists of three rounds: language proficiency, results of the Legal Reasoning Test and essay, and ranking. In order to be considered for admission, candidates must perform satisfactorily on the TOEFL (or other approved language tests). Further shortlisting of the applicants is based on the Legal Reasoning Test and essay results. Candidates are ranked based on their test results with due regard to past academic record and special experience. Normally the Legal Studies Department does not interview its applicants: an oral interview may be granted only exceptionally.

Whenever the above procedure is not applicable for technical or personal reasons (i.e., candidates are not residing in a country where a supervised entrance exam is administered by a national Soros foundation or educational advising center), granted that the candidate is qualified for consideration, a computer-administered (email) exam will be offered. Depending on the results of the exam, qualified candidates will be granted an interview. This email exam will take place worldwide on Saturday, March 9, 2002. In case of technical difficulties, additional dates may be set. Candidates should indicate on the application whether they will have access to electronic mail on the day of the exam, and if so, include their electronic mail address (notifying CEU Admissions Office of any future changes in the address). If candidates do not have access to electronic mail, the exam may be carried out by fax. If fax is also not a possibility, then candidates may apply for a special interview.

Candidates who received their law degree from an accredited American law school are exempt from the Legal Reasoning Test. Rather, they should submit a copy of their previously obtained Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) scores with their application for admission.

Candidates who do not have access to a Soros foundation test administration site, and who have not previously taken the Law School Admissions Test, are strongly encouraged to take it. (Please see the website listed below for LSAT administration information). CEU will accept an official copy of their LSAT score report for the admissions process.

Candidates who have not taken the CEU Legal Reasoning Test or the LSAT may be considered for

L1 Those students who are exempted from taking the TOEFL will join the other candidates in the afternoon for the subsequent tests.

admissions only under exceptional circumstances.

TOEFLApplicants to all three programs must meet the general CEU admissions requirements. Please see the Prospective Students section of this Bulletin for language requirements.

Legal Reasoning TestThe Legal Reasoning Test is a standardized test measuring analytical thinking and logical reasoning capabilities. The test consists of four sections of 20-30 questions each, and takes approximately two and a half hours to complete. Candidates are encouraged to practice law school admission sample tests, available on the web at HREF="http://www.lsac.org/download-forms-guidelines-checklists.asp".

Academic EssayThe academic essay is administered following the Legal Reasoning Test. The topic of the essay will depend upon the program to which the candidate is applying. If a candidate applies to more than one program, she/he should write separate essays for each program to which she/he is applying.

Comparative Constitutional Law ProgramThose candidates applying to the Comparative Constitutional Law Program should be familiar with the Constitution of the United States, and with the public law system of their country of residence. A sample question for the essay is: “Who declares war under the US Constitution? Why is this so?” Recommended reading: Limiting Government by Andras Sajo, Central European University Press, 1999.

International Business Law ProgramThose candidates applying to the International Business Law Program are expected to read the norms of their respective countries on private international law (conflict of laws), as well as the 1980 Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The text of the Vienna Convention is available through the following website: http://www.uncitral.org/english/texts/sales/salescon.htm

Human Rights ProgramThose candidates applying to the Human Rights Program are invited to read the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), as well as a periodic State Party report prepared in the context of the ICCPR, preferably one discussing the candidate’s country of residence. The text of the ICCPR and a periodic report are available through the following website: www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/a_ccpr.htm

system. Human Rights graduates will complete the program with a solid theoretical grounding in traditional and alternative approaches to human rights.

Departmental alumni are currently employed in law firms, government ministries, international organizations, private business ventures, embassies, universities, NGOs and research institutes as well as various consultancies. The majority of alumni who choose to continue their education at the Master's or SJD level are outstandingly successful in finding placement and financial aid at a variety of Western European and American academic institutions.

At present, CEU alumni of the Legal Studies Department with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:


Research and Internship OpportunitiesThe Legal Studies Department offers research exchange opportunities during the research module with US and Canadian universities. Students are selected to participate in these programs on a competitive basis. The department also participates in the CEU-wide research grant competition, which allows for short (two to three week) research opportunities during the research module. Through cooperation with the CEU Human Rights Students’ Initiative, Human Rights students are eligible to receive credit for internships with Budapest-based non-governmental organizations during the research module.

CEU sponsors up to three internships at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg for graduates of the Human Rights Program. Candidates must be citizens of a country which is a member of the Council of Europe and must have a law degree and a CEU Human Rights degree. The accepted applicants will work for three months on concrete cases together with a respective administrator from their country.

Program StructureAll Master’s programs follow the same basic structure. The academic year consists of three semesters, which collectively contain six modules. At the opening of the academic year, students participate in a preparatory module consisting of mandatory courses, which serve to introduce students to basic legal skills and strengthen their academic writing. The first semester consists of two additional modules. The second (research) semester focuses on research and writing and consists of one module of instruction. The third semester consists of two modules.

Dezso Miklos, Acting Program DirectorAgnes Makary, Program Coordinator

Degree offered: Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics and its ApplicationsAverage length of study: four yearsGraduation requirements: 57 course credits; 15 research credits, dissertation

The ProgramCEU’s Ph.D. Program in Mathematics and its Applications will be carried out jointly with the Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest and with the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. As the existing programs of CEU are in social sciences, humanities, and environmental sciences and policy, it was decided to develop a Department of Mathematics and its Applications that is open to interaction with scholars in these fields. The Program will strongly encourage interdisciplinary work.

The Department of Mathematics and its Applications is a new academic unit at CEU, and its establishment is supervised by a committee including Yehuda Elkana (CEU President and Rector), Philippe G. Ciarlet (Member of the French Academy of Sciences and Professor at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris), Gyula Katona (Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Director of the Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics).

CEU will seek registration with the New York State Education Department for one Ph.D. Program (Mathematics and its Applications) with two streams: one in Pure Mathematics (headed by Dezso Miklos), and another one in Applications of Mathematics (headed by Philippe G. Ciarlet). The full start of the program is scheduled for the academic year 2002/2003. In the academic year 2001/2002, only a small number of students were enrolled in the Pure Mathematics stream.

Doctoral Support ProgramThe Doctoral Support Program in Mathematics is available to students enrolled in full-time doctoral studies at recognized institutions of higher education. Students of the program receive consultation and supervision from CEU and the institute’s faculty. They can participate in the current Hungarian mathematical life and will have the opportunity to temporarily join the research groups of the institute. There is no requirement to earn course credits; rather, participants are encouraged to work together with the program faculty. Primarily those students who are at the stage of thesis writing are encouraged to apply for the Doctoral Support Program.

http://www.ceu.hu/misc/admissions/mathphd.htm


Entry RequirementsThe Department of Mathematics and its Applications will admit around ten students each year. In addition to meeting the general CEU admission requirements, students seeking admission to the program must submit altogether three letters of recommendation and will be required to prove their proficiency in mathematics and familiarity with fundamental mathematical disciplines. Applicants residing in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have to take a written exam in general mathematics, including analysis and basic algebra. The candidates for the stream on Pure Mathematics will also have to take a written exam in probability theory. The CEU-administered exam will be held on March 9, 2002. Candidates from outside the CEE/fSU region will be required to submit GRE scores by March 18, 2002.

Successful applicants are expected to have a degree of higher education (at least four years of college studies) with a strong mathematical background.

Program Structure and Academic RequirementsDuring four 14-week semesters of coursework, students must take a total of 72 credits, of which 27 credits will be earned in core courses, and 18 credits in advanced courses. The remaining 27 credits will be earned during the research period, typically 12 credits for further advanced coursework, and 15 for thesis work. Most of the coursework component of the Ph.D. program is designed for four semesters, but students with appropriate backgrounds may finish most of it in two or three semesters.

Students are required to take a comprehensive examination in three topics. After passing the comprehensive examination and earning in addition 12 credits in core or advanced courses, the students are required to take the candidacy oral examination on a pass/fail basis. The material is designed by the student’s supervisor. Students have to demonstrate their proficiency in the subject of their planned theses. The students start the formal research period after passing the candidacy oral examination. Nevertheless, students are encouraged to start their research in the third or fourth semester. During the research period, students are expected to write and defend their theses under a close supervision, and to finish their coursework.

Stream I: Applications of Mathematics

Applications of Mathematics have undergone a tremendous progress during the second half of the twentieth century. Due to the development of new areas in Mathematics and to the ever-increasing performances of computers, the realm of Applications is including more and more fields, so far thought to be out of reach of mathematical reasoning.

The aim of the Ph.D. Program in Mathematics and its Applications at CEU is to reflect this trend, by focusing on some of the most successful Applications of Mathematics, whether "classical", such as weather forecast, or recent, such as Black-Scholes model for pricing stocks. It is to be especially emphasized that, by their very nature, Applications have an interdisciplinary character that makes them strong incentives for initiating joint research with other departments from CEU. For instance, "Weather forecast" should appeal to the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy, while "Black-Scholes model for pricing stocks" should appeal to the Department of Economics.

Curriculum1. "Prerequisites" (3 credit courses). These courses are not compulsory, but their contents will be supposed to be fully mastered by any student who wishes to enter the Ph.D. Program. The level is that of last year of undergraduate studies. These courses can be either integrated in the curriculum or be covered during a three-week intensive "summer school", to be held just before the beginning of each academic year.

Stream II: Pure Mathematics

The Pure Mathematics Stream offers courses in several fields, such as Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Geometry, Mathematical Logic and Foundation, Number Theory, Stochastics, Theoretical Computer Science, Dynamic and Complex Systems. There are bridge courses with no credit to prepare students with different backgrounds. Most other courses are worth 3 credits and require three-hour lectures/discussions/seminars per week. In each field there are three core courses (a general requirement for the comprehensive exams) and advanced courses for further study. It is also possible to take reading courses (with the consent of the instructor), and topics courses.

Jozsef Laszlovszky, Head of Department Istvan Perczel, Director of Doctoral StudiesCsilla Dobos, Department CoordinatorAnnabella Pal, MA CoordinatorDorottya Domanovszky, PhD Coordinator

Degrees offered: Master of Arts in Medieval StudiesDoctor of Philosophy in Medieval Studies

Average length of study: MA: ten months, PhD: three yearsGraduation requirements: MA: 32 course credits; Master’s thesis and its defense (8 credits)

PhD: minimum of 20 course credits; comprehensive examination; dissertation and its defense.

The ProgramThe Department of Medieval Studies offers interdisciplinary courses focusing on the medieval (ca. 500-1550 AD) civilization of Europe. The program also deals with different ways of communication, migration of people, mobility of objects, texts, and ideas in the larger medieval oikumene, including Asia and Northern Africa. Special attention is given to the interactions between Medieval Christian (Latin, Byzantine and Oriental alike), Jewish and Islamic cultures including the Slavia Orthodoxia. Intertextual relations of different medieval source languages (Latin, Greek, Old Church Slavonic, Hebrew, Arab, Turkish, etc.) will also be explored. The program provides broad grounding in these fields and aims to train students in advanced research with special reference to interdisciplinary, comparative, and supranational issues. The study of Central and Eastern European monuments is of special interest to the department. In spite of enormous losses incurred during the many wars since the Middle Ages, the region is rich in medieval monuments, documents and vestiges of the past yet to be unearthed. Neither the artistic and architectural monuments nor the collections of ancient documents in archives and libraries have been exhaustively examined with up-to-date methods or analyzed from the perspective of modern scholarship.

The program is registered to grant the Master of Arts and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Medieval Studies by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

Entry RequirementsStudents seeking admission to the Medieval Studies Department’s MA program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements and submit a 500-word outline of their proposed research topic together with the specification of both the primary sources and literature to be studied. Familiarity with and experience in the basic skills of research as well as a working knowledge of the relevant source language(s) (both modern and medieval, if any) are expected from all entering students.

The Department of Medieval Studies admits students to its PhD program who meet the following criteria:a) Graduates of the department’s MA program with a strong thesis and a promising research topic; orb) Graduates of other universities with an MA in one of the fields of medieval studies provided that they

submit a three-page outline of their MA theses in English. It is expected that applicants present evidence of the interdisciplinary character of their previous medieval studies and their familiarity with research methods.

All applicants to the PhD program are required to submit a three- to five-page description of the proposed PhD thesis including research questions, theory and methodology, current status of the project, and a one- to two-page research proposal.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the MA program, students have solid experience with research methodology, analytical reasoning, medieval sources and the secondary literature of the field. Alumni have enrolled in PhD programs at CEU, Oxford, Cambridge, Katholieke Universite in Leuven, Université Paris X–Nanterre, the Warburg Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, the University of California, Los Angeles and other

45


European and American universities. Others are employed as research fellows or faculty members throughout the region, pursue careers in research institutes or museums, edit and translate books and journals or manage cultural monuments and collections.

At present, CEU alumni of the Department of Medieval Studies with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:

INSTITUTION TYPE %Continuing Studies 54Non-profit: Education & Research Institutions 34Non-profit: International Organizations 1Non-profit: Public Interest & Advocacy Groups 3Private Sector: Business 3Public Sector: Government 4Self-employed 1

Research and Internship OpportunitiesThe department’s main fields of research are history of ideas and institutions, Latin and Orthodox Christianity, interaction of religions, economic and urban history, history of everyday life, history of art and architecture, archaeology, philosophy, medieval languages and literature and Byzantine studies. The department has a unique medievalist research library in cooperation with Eotvos Lorand University (ELTE), Budapest, and a computer center specializing in the study of visual records of the Middle Ages.

The Master of Arts ProgramThe Medieval Studies one-year MA program is a combination of formal coursework (32 credits for seminars and research method courses) and supervised individual research leading to a thesis (8 credits); it is thus considered both a taught and research-based MA.

MA Program StructureThe Medieval Studies MA program is divided into a three-week Pre-Session, two semesters and a spring session. The Pre-Session is designed to introduce students to the resources available at CEU and elsewhere in Budapest and includes an introductory course in English for academic purposes, optional conversational Hungarian classes, Latin or Greek courses at all levels, computer training, library orientation sessions and an individual discussion on research planning. The first and second semesters consist of mandatory courses and elective seminars. The spring session is devoted to shorter reading courses and thesis-writing workshops.

Throughout the year students are provided guidance on individual and group research and on the discussion of their results. Members of the faculty offer guidance, assistance and supervision for the students’ own creative work and information on fields students may not have studied earlier. The department seeks to ensure that the courses chosen will most effectively balance specific research interests with interdisciplinary training. A tentative program for the entire year is individually discussed and designed for each student in September. Minor changes reflecting new interests on the part of the student are always possible.

The PhD Program The Medieval Studies PhD program normally lasts for three years. Students admitted to the doctoral program become probationary doctoral candidates. During this period students take a series of courses (20 credits), pass a general examination based on a detailed dissertation prospectus and covering several aspects of medieval studies. Once these requirements are fulfilled, students become doctoral candidates and are allowed up to five years to complete their doctoral theses. During the second or third year doctoral students will be given the opportunity (through exchange agreements) to spend one semester (or up to six months) abroad at the university most suitable for their particular research interests. This possibility is an integral part of each student’s individual study plan and is sponsored by CEU.

Doctoral Support ProgramThe Doctoral Support Program is open to graduate students registered in a PhD program at an accredited institution of higher education. Positions are held on either a semester or academic year basis. During their residence at CEU, the doctorandi/ae will receive consultation and supervision from CEU faculty. Although not required to attend classes, they are encouraged to interact with other students and faculty, present their work in informal workshops, and in general participate in the life of the department.

Average length of study: MA: ten monthsPhD: three years

Graduation requirements: MA: 32 course credits; Master’s thesis and its defense (8 credits)PhD: total of 56 credits, including credits for coursework, consultation, research, tutorial, dissertation writing, teaching assistance, and the PhD research seminar

The ProgramThe Nationalism Studies Program was established by Central European University with the goal of promoting the study of nationalism in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The program continues the work of the late Ernest Gellner, who founded CEU’s Center for the Study of Nationalism in Prague. The program is intended to respond to the growing demand for new knowledge and teaching in the field of nationalism studies. Drawing upon the uniquely supranational milieu of Central European University, it encourages a critical and non-sectarian study of nationalism with special emphasis on problems created by the new configuration of states, nations and minorities in the region.

Students are encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary study of nationalism, a subject that is inherently and fundamentally interdisciplinary. For this reason, the international teaching staff has been assembled to represent a wide range of disciplinary expertise relevant to the study of nationalism including history, social theory, economics, legal studies, sociology, anthropology, international relations and political science. The program offers a wide selection of courses that provide a complex theoretical grounding in problems associated with nationhood and nationalism combined with advanced training in the methodology of applied social science. Additional courses focus on placing problems of nationalism in the context of economic and political transition as well as constitution building in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe with a comparative outlook on regime transitions outside the region.

The Master of Arts degree in Nationalism Studies is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US). In addition, a specialization in Nationalism Studies is offered by the CEU Department of History, PhD in Comparative History of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe. MA graduates of the Nationalism Studies Program may also apply to the PhD program in Political Science, based on a special agreement between the two units.

Doctoral Support ProgramThe Doctoral Support Program in Nationalism Studies is available to students enrolled in full-time doctoral programs at accredited universities and institutions of higher education. Participants in the program receive consultation and supervision from CEU faculty to allow them to integrate nationalism studies into their research. There is no requirement to attend classes, but participants are encouraged to work in informal workshops and contribute to the life of the Nationalism Studies Program. While students may apply at any time during their PhD studies, those at the dissertation-writing stage are particularly suitable for the program.

Entry RequirementsApplicants to the MA program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements and submit a 500-word outline of their proposed research topic and one writing sample, e.g., a term paper of minimum ten pages.

Candidates for the History PhD program with a specialization in Nationalism Studies must meet the general CEU admissions requirements and submit a 500-word outline of their proposed research topic and one writing sample, e.g., a term paper of a minimum of ten pages. Applicants to the PhD program should submit three letters of recommendations. A joint History-Nationalism Studies selection committee will review applications.

Applicants for the Doctoral Support Program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements.

Program Structure and Academic RequirementsThe academic year is divided into a three-week Pre-Session, two semesters and a spring session. During the Pre-Session students will be given information about the resources available at the university and in

49


Budapest, and will pass a course in academic English and basic computer skills. Semesters I and II include courses and seminars. In the spring session, students write their MA theses.

All students are required to maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA), earn a standard number of credits per semester and attend classes as required by the program. Students are required to earn 24 credits from designated core courses. Classes from other departments can be selected for up to four credits per semester. Most courses are in seminar format; active participation is required.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the program, students will have solid experience with research methodology in their field, have acquired analytical skills necessary in dealing with the complex phenomenon of nationalism and will in general be equipped with sufficient academic background to make contributions in academia or in government and international institutions.

Ferenc Huoranszki, Head of DepartmentKriszta Biber, Department Coordinator

Degree Offered: Doctor of Philosophy in PhilosophyAverage Length of Study: three yearsGraduation Requirements: 28 course credits in the first year; comprehensive examination;

dissertation specific courses; dissertation and its defense.

The ProgramThe main purpose of the Department of Philosophy is to train professionals who will be prepared to undertake academic careers, as researchers or university teachers. The program takes advantage of the unique opportunity offered by CEU, a university registered in the United States but located in Central Europe, by promoting a scholarly attitude which combines historical and analytical approaches in philosophy. The curriculum is so designed that students are required to study in each of the major fields of contemporary philosophy. A specialization in history of philosophy is also available. Thus, it is envisaged that the alumni of the department will have the rare ability to conduct a dialogue across the dividing lines occasionally fragmenting the philosophical discipline. The PhD program in Philosophy started in 2000.

Registration of the PhD program in Philosophy by the Board of Regents of the Univesity of the State onf New York (US) is in progress.

Entry requirementsCandidates must have a BA degree in philosophy, or the equivalent. They are required to have a background in the history of philosophy (major ancient and medieval thinkers, Cartesianism, British empiricism and classical German philosophy) and in logic (propositional and predicate logic). Those who do not meet the second requirement may be accepted on the condition that they enroll in a logic course (4 credits) in the first year, over and above the standard requirements of seven courses.

Applicants to the program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements and submit a 500-word typewritten statement of purpose.

Program StructureIn the first year, students must earn 32 credits. At the end of the first year, they must pass the comprehensive examination. In the second year students have to earn 16 credits in dissertation-specific courses, and by the end of the third year they must successfully finish and defend their dissertations.

51


The program includes three areas of study: 1) various topics in the history of philosophy; 2) contemporary epistemology and metaphysics; and 3) ethics and political philosophy. Every student must choose one area of specialization.

During the first year, students are required to earn 28 credits and pass a comprehensive examination (4 credits). In the second year, students must complete four further optional courses. In addition to the courses offered by the program, students will have the option of attending courses cross-listed with other CEU departments/programs. Students are also required to attend a research seminar in which they discuss each other’s work. The third year will focus on dissertation writing. Invited lecturers may offer special courses to advanced students. Successful students may receive financial assistance for spending up to one year of their studies at Western European or US institutions.

Degrees offered: Master of Arts in Politics and the Political Economy of the Post-Communist Transition; Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science

Average length of study: MA: 10 months; PhD: 3 years Graduation requirements: MA: 32 course credits; thesis and its defense (8 credits)

PhD: 32 course credits; comprehensive examination; dissertation and its defense.

The Department of Political Science offers Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy programs in Political Science registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US).

The Master’s ProgramThe Master’s program offers a standard curriculum in political theory and methods. Against this background departmental offerings focus on the politics and political economy of the post-communist transition within a comparative and international perspective.

The MA program has a dual goal: it educates future scholars in political science or political economy, particularly those who intend to teach in or about the region; and it trains those who plan to become policy-makers or expert civil servants in their countries.

Entry requirements Students seeking admission to the Political Science Department’s MA program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements. Successful applicants typically hold a first degree in economics, history, law, political science or sociology, although other degrees will be given consideration. Applicants must attach a 500-word typewritten statement of purpose, as well as evidence of good TOEFL results (a minimum score of 213/550 is required).

The PhD ProgramThe Political Science PhD program is aimed at training a new generation of scholars who will be able to contribute much needed skills and standards in political science to the academic institutions of Central and Eastern Europe. The PhD program is primarily oriented towards academia.

The first year of PhD studies ends with a comprehensive examination. Those who pass the comprehensive examination have the right to submit and defend their dissertations at the Department of Political Science. Full fellowships are not available for all eligible individuals who fall into this category, and therefore funding for continuation into doctoral candidacy is highly competitive.

Entry requirementsApplicants to the PhD program must attach a 500-word statement of purpose, as well as a three-page summary of their MA thesis.

The Department of Political Science admits the following categories of students to its PhD program: 0) students from the department’s MA program with a 3.3 grade point average or higher and a strong

thesis;

53


a) graduates of other universities with an MA in political science, provided that, in addition to holding a 3.3 grade point average or higher, they submit a three-page summary of their MA thesis in English and present evidence of good TOEFL results a minimum score of 250/600 is required);

b) applicants from CEU or other universities with an MA in a social science discipline other than politics (preferably economics, sociology, law, history or anthropology). In addition to having earned a 3.3 grade point average or higher, they should submit a three-page summary of their MA thesis in English, and commit themselves to earning 16 credits in courses from the core curriculum of the Department’s MA program in the course of their PhD studies. Alternatively, they can take a general exam in these subjects before submitting their dissertation. Applicants must present evidence of solid TOEFL results (a minimum score of 250/600 is required).

Applications for the International Relations track of the Political Science Department PhD program will be evaluated by a joint IRES-Political Science selection committee.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the program, students will have acquired a solid background in political science and political economy, both generally and in relation to post-communist Central and Eastern Europe. Students will also be familiar with basic trends of the transition process currently underway throughout the region.

In the past, students have gained or returned to employment in a variety of fields, including higher education, politics, political analysis, the media, civil service and other related areas. Alumni from the region have also been successful in securing positions and funding for additional Master’s or PhD programs in Western universities or research organizations.

At present, CEU alumni of the Department of Political Science with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:


Program StructureThe MA program is designed to lead from theoretical analysis to empirical research on the most important questions about the exit from communism and future political developments. Students are expected to master the theoretical, methodological and analytical skills necessary for empirical investigation by the end of Semester I, when the weight of the curriculum is on subjects such as rational choice theory, political philosophy and statistics. The focus of the curriculum in Semester II is on empirical issues, with a bias towards the political problems of transitions to, and consolidation of, democracy and a market economy. Compact courses taught by outstanding visiting academics are integrated with comprehensive courses in the core program. Minor changes in the curriculum are possible from year to year.

defense (12 credits)PhD: 20 course credits; dissertation and its defense.

The ProgramsThe Department of Sociology offers three 12-month Master of Arts degrees all accredited by the University of Lancaster (UK): an MA in Society and Politics; an MA in Economy and Society; and an MA in Culture and Society. PhD studies, validated by the Polish Academy of Sciences, have also been offered in the department since October 1997. The department operates in collaboration with the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, one of the most prestigious centers for sociology in Central and Eastern Europe.

Departmental offerings focus on the social and political issues of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. In addition, the department offers the opportunity for training in research methodology (including survey analysis, secondary data analysis and other techniques), computing, statistics, comparative sociology, philosophy of social sciences, social theory and several areas of applied social research. Students are encouraged to undertake comparative work and utilize material from their home countries.

Situated in the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Staszic Palace in the heart of the old center of Warsaw, the department is in close proximity to the University of Warsaw. Together, the libraries within these institutions represent the largest collection of sociological works in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, the Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Sociology and Philosophy host numerous conferences, including the 1995 Fifth World Congress for Central and East European Studies, organized in collaboration with the CEU Sociology Department. Such academic events allow students to meet potential colleagues as well as some of the most respected sociologists and political scientists from around the world.

The department draws professors from Polish academic institutions and from internationally recognized sociological institutions outside the country including CNRS, France; Humboldt University, Germany; the Institute for Advanced Studies, Austria; the New School for Social Research, US; Salford University, UK; Rutgers University, US; the University of California, Los Angeles, US; and the University of Siena, Italy.

Entry RequirementsApplicants to the Sociology Department must meet the general CEU admissions requirements. Applicants to the MA program must attach a 500-word typewritten essay on the relevance of their academic/professional backgrounds to further studies at CEU and their future career goals. Applicants to the PhD program must attach a three-page typewritten PhD research proposal. Successful applicants typically have a first degree in social sciences or humanities as well as some experience with statistical methods.

Alumni ProfileUpon completion of the program, graduates will have had the opportunity to acquire solid experience with research methodology and social theory, enabling them to pursue a wide range of further study or career options. These include the PhD programs offered by the department itself, by Warsaw’s Graduate School for Social Research or by various regional and Western universities. They also may work in one of the many fields that utilize applied social research, or follow a career in public administration.

At present, CEU alumni of the Department of Sociology with whom the university is in contact are studying and employed in the following fields:

PhD and Research DegreesGraduates of the department’s Master’s programs interested in pursuing doctoral studies may be considered for admission to the department’s PhD program or to the Graduate School for Social Research (GSSR) which, like the CEU Department of Sociology, shares the building of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In both cases, students study for the PhD awarded by the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. CEU students following the department’s British-style research degree will nevertheless be encouraged to attend courses offered by the GSSR, tailoring a program to complement their own research interests. At least part of the second year of the PhD program will be spent in a university in Western Europe or North America.

Internship and Research OpportunitiesOpportunities for internships are available for students upon consultation with their supervisors.

Program StructureThe department offers three one-year, post-graduate MA programs each divided into a Pre-Session, two semesters and a spring session. While each part is self-contained, together they form the basis of a study program that begins with an intensive, compulsory course load (Semester I), moves into more advanced option tracks while gradually introducing students to independent research (Semester II) and finally concentrates on completion of the Master’s dissertation (spring and summer sessions). Intensive tutorial contact throughout the year is an important part of all three programs.

Each MA Program comprises nine 20-hour courses, of which two are compulsory and seven are optional. Each course is assessed on the basis of one 3,000-word essay. The 12-month MA program is completed by presentation of a 15,000-word dissertation.

Of the optional courses, students must:

EITHERchoose a minimum of one course per term (and a maximum of five in total) from Track 1 and a total of not more than one course from Track 2 or 3 to be awarded an MA in Society and Politics on successful completion of the program.

ORchoose a minimum of one course per term (and a maximum of five in total) from Track 2, and a total of not more than one course from Track 1 or 3 to be awarded an MA in Economy and Society on successful completion of the program.

ORchoose a minimum of one course per term (and a maximum of five in total) from Track 3, and a total of not more than one course from Track 1 or 2 to be awarded an MA in Society and Culture on successful completion of the program.

It is expected that MA dissertations will address subjects within the area of the chosen MA track.

Humanities CenterCEU has established a Humanities Center to encourage the creation of new knowledge, working especially on the dimension of the “shifting boundary between the local and universal.” In many of the social sciences and some of the humanities, and even in the natural sciences, this dimension has become of great theoretical interest recently. The center plans to choose a theme each year, within this general framework, and to invite scholars to work together for shorter or longer periods. The Humanities Center will be looking for “successful, dissatisfied scholars” who are willing to experiment theoretically with the foundations and limits of their disciplines. In addition, since CEU is part of the Soros foundations network, which supports local NGOs in more than fifty countries worldwide, the center intends to invite experts from NGOs to interact with the scholars, supplying much-needed local knowledge which would serve as an empirical basis for their theorizing. The Humanities Center is guided by an International Advisory Council chaired by Ian Buruma. As a first theme we chose Behavioral Economics since it is on the cutting edge of economics.

SPECIAL AND EXTENSION PROGRAMS Special and Extension Programs (SEP) comprises three units: the Special and Extension Programs Office; CEU Summer University (SUN); and the Curriculum Resource Center (CRC). SEP provides a bridge between CEU and the Open Society Institute (OSI), and a bridge between CEU and its target countries. To this end, SEP provides programs for university professors, researchers and professionals from Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Mongolia and other emerging democracies. SEP also provides organizational and intellectual support for OSI projects (especially HESP, the Higher Education Support Program).

SEP works on three levels: transregional programs (those initiatives that are available to eligible applicants from all of its target countries); microregional programs (primarily focused on providing support to HESP’s regional projects in Southeastern Europe and Central Asia); and country specific projects (usually at the request of HESP and the relevant national Soros foundation). In addition, SEP is now working with other emerging democracies as a part of CEU’s globalization.

SEP specializes in the following services: making available the academic and physical resources of CEU for the benefit of its target countries and of OSI’s network programs; managing projects on behalf of OSI (especially where such projects will benefit from cooperation with CEU); developing and supporting CEU’s own outreach efforts; and providing training and other technical assistance to support OSI’s work in capacity building for higher education.

The following programs all belong to the transregional aspect of SEP’s work. For further information on other projects, please visit the SEP website (www.ceu.hu/sep). All of the following projects below are provided on a full scholarship basis to those citizens of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Mongolia and other emerging democracies who are selected through an open and competitive application procedure. For more details on eligibility for specific programs, visit the web pages shown or contact the program by email at [email protected].

Its primary administrative offices are in Budapest, the teaching site of all departments and programs except the Department of Sociology, which is located at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland.

In the years since the disintegration of the Soviet system, Central Europe has been steadily recovering its traditional ways and roles. Arguably one of the most important of these is the region’s function as the economic and cultural crossroads of Europe. A number of Central European countries incorporate bustling international centers for business, diplomacy, tourism and education while also maintaining their distinctive, rich cultural heritage. The capital cities of Budapest and Warsaw exemplify this.

The CityHome to 1.9 million people, Budapest is the political, cultural, intellectual and economic center of Hungary. The city incorporates the architectural elegance of nineteenth century Habsburg era buildings, fin de siecle, art nouveau and art deco styles with the urban character of a sprawling metropolis. Budapest is divided by the Danube river, which separates Buda from Pest. Buda, the older section, contains most of the medieval and Roman areas, cultural attractions and monuments. Pest is a thriving commercial and administrative center, brimming with restaurants, cafes, clubs, shops and offices.

Budapest offers something for everyone. For those interested in music, the State Opera House and the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy produce world-class operas and concerts. Theater can be enjoyed at the Madach and Nemzeti theaters as well as a variety of small venues around the city offering both contemporary and classical repertoires in several languages. The city is home to numerous museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Mucsarnok Art Gallery, the National Museum and the Museum of

Applied Arts. Sporting enthusiasts will find numerous opportunities to watch or participate in European football, basketball, hockey and other competitive athletics. Budapest also offers many pleasant areas for cycling, running, roller-blading or hiking.

The city boasts numerous modern cinemas, cafes, pubs, discos and rock clubs where students can enjoy their evenings. Several English-language publications advertise a variety of cultural and entertainment events around the country.

Teaching FacilitiesThe CEU educational buildings are located in the heart of the capital. These buildings include both educational facilities and administrative offices. The main buildings are two monument buildings and a newly constructed faculty tower. One of the monument buildings, of particular historical importance, is a palace built for the Festetics family, which had a leading role in the history of the Central and Eastern European countries from the 18th century onwards. The palace was designed by one of the most famous architects of Central and Eastern Europe, Mihaly Pollack. For its careful renovation of the palace, CEU received the “Urban Rehabilitation of 1995” award from the Architects’ Association. A modern, ten-story faculty tower was constructed behind the two monument buildings and now houses most of the university’s faculty offices and classrooms. The tower is also the site of the library and the university auditorium, an amphitheater-style lecture hall. The Oktober 6 building, which is linked to the rest of the CEU complex, houses two of the university’s departments. There are two further buildings housing administrative, service and recreation facilities.

Computer ServicesFive computer laboratories on the main campus and one at the CEU Residence and Conference Center (CEU dormitory), with more than 180 PCs and several Macintosh computers, are available for student use. The dormitory rooms are equipped with an individual PC, connected to the CEU computer network. Furthermore, a computer rental scheme has been initiated through which 100 PCs are available. PhD students have access to study rooms specially designated for the use of doctoral students by their respective department.

Computer lab PCs are equipped with general software packages (MS Office software—MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and MS Access) and are connected to the Internet and email. Additionally, statistical packages (SPSS and SAS), 60 CD-ROM databases, online databases (WestLaw, EBSCO) and other specialized software packages are available.

Language Teaching CenterThe Language Teaching Center (LTC), in collaboration with departmental writing instructors, provides writing support for CEU students throughout the academic year. As well as introductory courses in academic writing during the Pre-Session, the center also offers thesis writing courses, workshops and individual writing consultations for both MA and PhD students all year round. The LTC also runs a Multimedia Learning Center jointly with the CEU Library and has developed an extensive website for independent learning.

More information about the LTC can be found at http://www.ceu.hu/misc/ltc.html.

Library ResourcesCEU’s Library holds the largest collection of English-language materials in social sciences and humanities in Central and Eastern Europe. New materials are constantly acquired, particularly within the disciplines of CEU’s academic departments and programs. Recently published English-language monographs and serials in economics, environmental sciences, history, international relations and European studies, law and political science can be found in the collection; many are unique to the region. The basic literature of specialized fields such as gender studies or nationalism is also richly represented. The library aims to become a leading research and information center in the region using all available means of information technology.

The library currently holds over 120,000 monographs and subscribes to approximately 1,200 periodicals, about 80 percent of which are in English. Also available are extensive back issues of numerous periodicals in hardbound or microfiche form and a working papers and thesis collection containing various research documents. The library also holds all working papers connected with the teaching activity of CEU.

66


Several web-access and CD-ROM databases are available to users through CEU’s local network. These include Columbia International Affairs Online, Economist Intelligence Unit’s Country Reports, EBSCOhost, EBSCO online, Environmental Abstracts, European Law Library Online, International Financial Statistics, Justis Celex, Keesing’s Record of World Events Online, National Periodical Database and several bibliographic databases.

In order to utilize rapidly developing information technology more fully, a Multimedia Library has been established to facilitate language improvement and individual study. There are four video-consoles, four tape-recorders and six multimedia PCs for members' use. The Multimedia Library collection contains CD-ROMs, tapes, discs, videocassettes and language books. Some of the library’s holdings are located in external institutions serving as branch or affiliated libraries. The largest of these is a medieval studies collection of approximately 10,000 volumes located in the Eotvos Lorand University (ELTE) Library, Budapest.

The library catalogue and additional information may be accessed on the website at http://www.library.ceu.hu.

Open Society Archives at Central European UniversityThe Open Society Archives at Central European University was established in 1995. Its acquisition policy is to provide research resources for the history of communism and the Cold War, for human rights issues, and the activities of the Soros foundations network. The first acquisition was the records of the Research Institute of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). This is a wealth of documentation—press clippings and reports, biographical information, in-house reports and external publications—on subjects, people and issues monitored and reported by RFE/RL. Since its foundation, the Archives has supplemented and augmented this core holding with material on war crimes in the former Yugoslavia from the International Human Rights Law Institute in Chicago, the samizdat material of Budapest mayor Gabor Demszky (a complement to the Polish and Russian samizdat in the RFE/RL records), the records of the International Helsinki Federation on Human Rights, and the records of the Index on Censorship. The Archives holds a significant amount of audio-visual material, the most important of which includes videos generated in a project to monitor television news broadcasts in three countries of the former Yugoslavia, and video copies of proceedings of the Hague Tribunal on War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia.

The Archives also has an associated library of books and periodicals (both paper and microfilm), the core of which is the library of the RFE/RL. It holds the periodicals collection of both RFE/RL and the Open Media Research Institute and includes publications from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, as well as journals from Western countries about the history, culture and politics of the region. There is significant coverage from 1950 to the present in over 30 languages, consisting of approximately 6,000 serial titles. In addition there is a small but rapidly growing collection of archival and information management publications.

Additional information on the Open Society Archives may be obtained at http://www.osa.ceu.hu/.

CEU Academic BookstoreThe CEU Academic Bookstore serves the university community as well as other educational institutions in the area. The bookstore covers two floors and a wide spectrum of academic subject areas from social sciences to business and management. A free ordering service is also available.

HOUSING AND DORMITORY ARRANGEMENTS IN BUDAPEST CEU students have two options for accommodation in Budapest: they may choose CEU dormitory housing or rent an apartment in the city. Students are not guaranteed a place in the dormitory, but each option works satisfactorily. Fellowship students will receive a stipend based on the housing option they select.

CEU Residence and Conference Center (Kerepesi Dormitory)The CEU Residence and Conference Center (Kerepesi Dormitory or dormitory) is a modern residence complex located in the 10 th District in Budapest. It provides air-conditioned single rooms for up to 250 students; each room is equipped with a personal computer and a private bathroom. The dormitory is run as a hotel-type service, and students can find many other facilities such as a small shop for various personal articles; cafeteria, restaurant and a pub; sports center with swimming pool and fitness room, basketball and tennis courts, etc. On every floor there is a quiet lounge with a coffee machine, microwave oven and a

67


refrigerator; a TV room; and a laundry room. Bed linen is provided, but not towels and toiletries. It is not permitted to cook or keep food in the rooms. Dormitory students are automatically enrolled in the CEU Meal Plan. Meals can be taken either at the dormitory or at the cafeterias in the main academic building.

The dormitory accommodates single students only, from both Master’s and doctoral programs. Students with families, children, partners, or with pets, must opt for the out-of-dormitory housing.

Out-of-Dormitory (Off-Campus) Housing Since the CEU Dormitory cannot house the entire student body, many students have to find off-campus housing in Budapest. The Financial Aid & Residential Life Office maintains a database of flats and helps students looking to rent a flat. Upon arrival in Budapest at the beginning of the academic year, those students who need to find off-campus accommodation have two weeks to find an apartment. In the meantime, CEU provides them with temporary hotel accommodation.

Meal PlanStudent residents of the dormitory who receive financial aid from CEU are automatically enrolled in the CEU Meal Plan. They can use their ID cards to purchase breakfasts and main meals at the dormitory restaurant and at the CEU dining facilities. The current Meal Plan provides one breakfast every day and one main meal on every weekday. As of October 1, 2001 CEU is planning to initiate a new meal plan system which will be based on a monthly credit allowance. Each student will be able to purchase a whole menu or individual meals, and the price of the meal will be deducted as a unit from the total number of credits. There will be no restrictions as to breakfasts and main meals. There will be a limit on the number of unused credits that can be carried forward from one month to the next. Students will be informed of the details of the new Meal Plan shortly before the new program is initiated.

Food ServicesFood services are provided in several areas of the university, including a cafeteria, the Student Club Buffet, and a restaurant on the top floor of Faculty Tower.

Fellowship students residing in the CEU Residence and Conference Center are automatically enrolled in the CEU Meal Plan as a part of their financial aid packages, entitling them to a certain number of meals per month. Non-fellowship students and those students living outside the Residence may purchase the CEU Meal Plan or individual meals for a set fee.

WARSAW TEACHING SITE, POLAND Nowy Swiat 72. 00 330 Warsaw, PolandTelephone: (48-22) 828-8009Fax: (48-39) 122-047Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.ceu.hu

The CityWarsaw, Poland’s capital, is often viewed as a powerful symbol of the Polish spirit. Completely destroyed by the Nazis at the end of World War II, the city has painstakingly rebuilt its Old Town, reproduced from collective memory, photographs and paintings. Visitors are nevertheless often surprised by the city’s spaciousness, by its parks, gardens and riverside walks.

Old Town Square, the medieval Barbican Gate and the Royal Castle serve as the cornerstones of a vibrant district bustling with cafes, restaurants and craft shops. Extending southward from the Old Town is the Royal Way, winding through the most picturesque parts of the city to Wilanow Palace 15 kilometers away. Leaving the Royal Castle, one passes beautiful churches as well as numerous aristocratic palaces and bourgeois residences before arriving at the University of Warsaw and the Academy of Sciences’ nineteenth century Staszic Palace, home of CEU’s Warsaw teaching site.

Poland is known for its strong academic traditions, especially in social sciences, and Warsaw has a rich academic community with several universities. Where there are many students, there is always a dynamic nightlife, and there are numerous cafes, pubs, clubs and sporting events around.

More cultural entertainment can be found in Warsaw’s numerous museums and galleries, including the National Museum, the Ethnological Museum, the Zacheta Art Gallery and the City Historical Museum. Classical concerts are held outdoors in many of the city’s parks, the Grand Opera House, the Philharmonic

68


Concert Hall, the Operetta Theater and the Warsaw Chamber Opera, among other venues. The Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, the Warsaw Autumn (a contemporary music festival) and the Jazz Jamboree are popular attractions for students. Attractive nature sites, easily reached by train or bus, provide numerous opportunities for hiking, camping, skiing and other outdoor activities.

Teaching FacilitiesThe buildings where CEU’s activities are regularly carried out belong to the Polish Academy of Sciences. Teaching, administrative and student services offices, and language and computer labs are located at the Academy’s Staszic Palace. Here, students take advantage of the historical setting of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology.

Library ResourcesResources available to students at the Warsaw teaching site can be found in two different libraries. The first, housed in the Staszic Palace, holds approximately 10,000 volumes in English and subscribes to 60 journals on all aspects of sociology, research methodology and other social sciences. A small collection of working papers, general reference material and current affairs magazines are available for student use as well. A variety of CD-ROM databases are available on the premises, including Public Affairs Information Services (PAIS), Social Sciences Source, Justis Celex and Sociofile. The other library, known as IFIS PAN, is the joint library of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, the Faculty of Sociology and Philosophy of the University of Warsaw and the Polish Philosophical Society. IFIS PAN is housed in a building near the Staszic Palace. This facility contains over 210,000 items, including some 167,000 books, 37,000 periodicals and 12,000 items under the heading “special collections.” Of these, one-third is in English, one-third is in Polish and the remainder is in French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin and Russian.

The following additional CD-ROM databases are available to CEU students in the IFIS PAN Library: Index of Philosophers, International Statistics Yearbook, EUROSTAT and Social Sciences Index (full text edition).

Computer FacilitiesIn Warsaw, a computer laboratory holds about 20 PCs equipped with general software packages (MS Windows, NT Workstation, MS Office—MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Access), SPSS statistical package, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. A number of PCs and two notebook computers are available through a computer rental scheme to PhD students. The library has seven workstations with access to the library catalogue and CD-ROMs.

AccommodationCEU Warsaw arranges for students to reside in shared private flats throughout the city.

PART IV: STUDENT SERVICES AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES

DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT SERVICES

CEU offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to address the international character of the student body and to enhance the overall CEU experience. The Department of Student Services forms a division under the Vice President for Student Services. The offices are located on the second floor of Monument Building, and a staff of about 20 full-time employees, many of whom are CEU graduates, work directly with the students. The Student Advising Center is located in the passageway between the Nador u. complex and the Oktober 6 u. building. The Budget and Finance Office of CEU is a separate division that also provides a number of services to students. These two units provide most of the administrative support for students throughout the year.

The Vice President for Student Services (VPSS) is responsible for student recruitment and admissions, student publications, financial aid, residential life and dormitory activities, student personal and academic records, student educational and career advising, and alumni affairs. The VPSS also serves as liaison to the Academic Pro-Rector, the Academic Secretary and the faculty on admissions and academic matters and faculty committee work. The VPSS is responsible for student orientation (Pre-Session and Zero Week).

Admissions OfficeThe Admissions Office facilitates the selection process by relaying decisions made by the selection committees, arranging English language proficiency and other admissions examinations for applicants residing in countries where Soros foundations operate. The office monitors all selection activities to ensure compliance with the university admissions policy. In addition, the Admissions Office coordinates a wide variety of information sessions, open houses and visits by CEU faculty and staff members to introduce prospective students to the university and its offerings.

Financial Aid & Residential Life OfficeThe Financial Aid & Residential Life Office oversees all arrangements for residency in Hungary, housing in Budapest, ID cards, stipend administration, and day-to-day logistical needs of the students. The Office maintains all non-academic student records such as enrolment confirmation forms, financial aid forms, residency permit documents, etc. The office organizes university-wide student social and cultural activities. Staff members welcome student participation and programming suggestions.

Student Records Office and RegistrationThe Student Records Office maintains information about students’ academic progress, issues transcripts, certificates and CEU diplomas, and verifies non-CEU transcripts. Academic files of the students are maintained here, and any student who has not submitted certified copies and an official English language translation of his/her previous degree/final transcript during the application procedure must present the missing documents to the Student Records Office upon arrival. Until then enrollment at CEU will remain conditional.

CEU has designed, developed and implemented a unique, in-house academic information network called the University Information System. Course registration, add/drop and grading are computerized, and students are responsible for conducting all necessary procedures in connection with registration. This continually developing system integrates most of the administrative functions students have to deal with during their stay at CEU. The University Information System also provides online information about courses, grades and class schedules.

Student Advising CenterThe Student Advising Center is a resource and counseling center for students planning their careers after CEU. A full-time Educational Advisor and a full-time Career Advisor meet with students for individual consultations or in groups, organize workshops and pre-departure orientations. The center maintains a resource library and database of educational materials and career information resources and job opportunities. Electronic information is regularly posted for all CEU students and alumni. The Educational Advisor provides students with information on post-graduate programs around the world and maintains an extensive collection of university prospectuses, directories of higher education institutions and a database of funding opportunities from a variety of sources. The Career Advisor helps students find employment upon graduation from CEU. The mission of the career service is to empower students to develop career strategies, and to facilitate their transition from study to employment.

The Student Advising Center also administers the Doctoral Research Support Grants: it maintains up-to-date information on the existing student exchange agreements with other institutions, special scholarship opportunities and individual relations with previous CEU student host institutions. Application forms for the various programs and institutions are available at the Student Advising Center.

The Career Advisor works closely with the Alumni Affairs Office to deliver an alumni-student mentoring program. This provides career networking and advice opportunities for current students from alumni who have had similar experiences returning to the job market.

Alumni Affairs OfficeThe Alumni Affairs Office has been active since February 1998. It serves to develop closer links between the university and its graduates, helping them to remain involved in university affairs, and provides assistance to CEU’s educational and career advising services. CEU alumni provide a resource for current students on opportunities available and experiences encountered after graduating from the university.

The Alumni Affairs Office provides a variety of ways for graduates to continue their involvement with the university while offering a range of services either free of charge or at reduced rates. All graduates of the university are automatically members of the CEU Alumni Association upon completing their CEU degrees.

OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED TO STUDENTS

Academic AdvisingUpon entry to CEU, students participate in a three-week Pre-Session, during which time they become acquainted with their academic programs and the resources which are available to them. Each department or program provides information and advice on graduation requirements and general expectations for the academic program as well as advice on course offerings and general academic direction. Each department offering doctoral studies also has a Doctoral Studies Director who guides the academic program of these students. Furthermore, the Academic Pro-Rector holds office hours for students to discuss problems or concerns of an academic nature.

Student Orientation (Pre-Session and Zero Week)New students are normally expected to arrive in Budapest on the last weekend of August. For new students CEU organizes a three-week comprehensive orientation to all university services, including the full range of logistical arrangements accompanying their relocation to Hungary. The Pre-Session is mandatory for all new students.

Similar but separate arrangements apply to the students of the Department of Sociology in Warsaw. Pre-Session begins with an orientation to legal residence in Hungary, the collection of documents for residency permits, distribution of ID cards and orientation for housing arrangements. Non-dormitory students are fully assisted in finding suitable accommodation during the first two weeks after arrival. The Budget and Finance Office advises on banking arrangements and various payment procedures. During the first week students are also introduced to the buildings and facilities, including a tour of the CEU Library.

The second week of Pre-Session is normally dedicated to training on the University Information System, use of library databases and use of all CEU computing resources. Students are required to take formal training and a test in all these areas in order to receive log-in rights to the computer network and to matriculate. The Information Technology Support Unit (ITSU) holds a training session on the ethical use of the computer resources, information retrieval, storage and printing quotas, operation guidelines and procedures.

In the third week, students are normally introduced to the range of available advising and counseling services, such as educational and career advising, as well as to student activities and the role of the Student Council. The Alumni Affairs Office helps in organizing meetings between new students and alumni, while departments supplement the general Pre-Session activities with department-orientated events and introductory courses.

Throughout the whole Pre-Session period, the Language Teaching Center (LTC) conducts an ongoing academic writing program for CEU students. The purpose of this program is to ensure that students have the necessary linguistic, stylistic and organizational skills to be able to complete any academic writing task necessary for graduate level work at CEU, as well as in other professional or academic English-speaking environments.

The last week, Zero Week, is dedicated to academic orientation. Departments and programs schedule lectures and presentations by professors who summarize the content of the courses they will teach over the course of the year. These lectures are open to all students, who are encouraged to attend in order to make the most of their selection of courses.

Health Services and InsuranceBudapestTwo doctors hold office hours at the CEU teaching site in Budapest on a daily basis during the week, free of charge to students. They maintain a network of specialists throughout Budapest who may treat patients under the CEU Health Insurance service. Furthermore, the university maintains a cooperative arrangement with the Transplantation Clinic, one of the best medical facilities in Hungary, and a medical facility in the vicinity of the teaching site. Students covered through CEU’s Health Insurance service have full access to both clinics’ services free of charge.

CEU provides health insurance through a contract with a major international insurance company. This insurance is available to those full-time students of CEU Budapest who do not hold a valid Hungarian

71


Health Insurance card. Effective January 1, 1997, this category includes all non-Hungarian students of CEU Budapest. Other members of the CEU Budapest community may be eligible for this plan pending the approval of the Executive Vice-President.

Students who do not wish to be covered by the health insurance provided through CEU must present proof of adequate alternative insurance coverage valid for their entire stay in Hungary as a condition of enrollment.

WarsawA private health insurance company covers Warsaw students.

Counseling ServicesCEU takes the emotional care of its community very seriously. As the majority of students are studying abroad for the first time in a demanding academic environment in which studies are conducted in a language that is frequently not their own, CEU can, at times, be a stressful environment. The university offers the following counseling services: strictly confidential psychological counseling for students, faculty, and staff by two in-house psychologists; and peer counseling for students in the dormitory provided by Residence Advisors. The aim of CEU’s counseling services is to provide help and support in the following areas: personal and emotional problems, different forms of anxiety such as panic, performance or social anxiety, phobias, interpersonal difficulties, depression, eating disorders, adjustment problems or coping with loneliness.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES CEU students have the opportunity to get involved in many social and extra-curricular activities throughout the academic year. Most of these initiatives are based on student interests and specific requests. The Office of Residential Life & Financial Aid provides logistical and/or financial support. Students in Warsaw will receive similar support from the administrative staff. In addition, Warsaw students visit the Budapest teaching site in the spring semester.

Normally, at the beginning of the academic year, a survey is made among students, asking them for their preferences. Following upon this various clubs are formed, e.g. drama club, literary club, special interest clubs. Students are encouraged to submit proposals for activities that would fit with their busy academic schedules. For example, CEU would provide support to celebrate national and cultural holidays or help organize international events, dinners, or parties. In addition, there is a small exhibition hall on the first floor of the Monument Building, which, during the past academic year, showed photo exhibitions of pictures taken by several CEU students. In other cases, students participate in numerous activities organized by their department or program or by their faculty. Again, they can obtain support from the Financial Aid & Residential Life Office.

For students resident in the Kerepesi Dormitory, CEU supports a system of electing Residence Advisors (RAs) for each floor. RAs collect ideas, organize student feedback, and maintain permanent contact with the dormitory management. The dormitory is also prepared to support a film club, a DVD rental system, sports tournaments, monthly national evenings and student-organized exhibitions.

Due to the relatively short time that most students spend in Budapest, many student activities start and end within the given academic year because the next student generation may be interested in other topics. The Residential Life Officer welcomes student ideas and suggestions and works with the students to enhance the CEU living environment.

AthleticsFor students interested in sports, CEU provides the facilities of two sports centers: one located in the main complex, at Nador u. 15 building and another in the dormitory. If there is sufficient demand, CEU organizes aerobics or yoga classes, games and tournaments. The Sports Center near the main academic complex offers weight lifting, a work-out room, badminton, basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, table tennis and sauna . The CEU Residence and Conference Center offers exercise rooms, a sports field, a basketball court, a swimming pool and a sauna. In Warsaw, arrangements are made with community facilities. Previous sports options have included pre-paid passes for dance classes, swimming, basketball, table tennis and volleyball, as well as blocks of time in local gyms. Intramural competitions are arranged according to student interest.

72


STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council at CEU is the primary student government body. Members are elected at the beginning of each academic year and subsequently represent the student body on numerous university committees. The Council has been active in a number of areas, including initiatives in the development of various student services.

THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS

Stage One: Evaluation of DocumentationUpon receipt of all application materials each departmental/program selection committee evaluates applications on the basis of past academic performance, strength of recommendations, work experience, the applicant’s expectations of the program and his/her future plans. After this initial evaluation, applicants are either invited to continue with the selection process or are rejected.Approximate date of notification: between February 15 and February 18, 2002.

Stage Two: Testing and Evaluation of Test ScoresEnglish Language TestingApplicants who pass the first stage of the admissions process and who have not submitted test scores according to the language or department specific test requirements, are invited to take an institutional TOEFL examination and other department specific tests on March 9, 2002. Students from CEE/fSU and other countries where Soros foundations operate may take an institutional TOEFL examination and other department specific tests at the local Soros foundation or educational advising center. Testing is held at the majority of the Soros foundation offices listed in this Admissions Bulletin.

Applicants from all other countries will be required to take standard tests offered throughout the world, as indicated in the entry requirements of each department, and may be offered admission on a conditional basis. The deadline for submission of these test scores is February 15, 2002,for Economics and March 18, 2002, for all other departments and programs. In such cases, CEU reserves the right to administer its own test upon the student’s arrival in Budapest and to require some additional coursework.

All other applicants, who have submitted standard test scores together with their applications, are notified of their progress.

Economics MA applicants: Mathematics Examination Since the Economics MA program incorporates a substantial mathematical component, all applicants are required to take a mathematics examination covering basic calculus, probability theory and linear algebra. The examination will be held on March 9, 2002, at the majority of the Soros foundation offices listed in this

77


Admissions Bulletin. Applicants not residing in countries where Soros foundations operate, or those who were not able to attend the CEU mathematics examinations, are required to submit an official GRE score.

The GRE is a compulsory requirement for Economics PhD candidates, and must be taken indivudally by each candidate. Scores are due by February 15, 2002.

Please note that samples of previous years’ mathematics tests may be obtained from the local Soros foundation offices or from the CEU Admissions Office.

Legal Studies Applicants : Legal Reasoning Test/Legal Essay Please refer to the description of the Department of Legal Studies for further details about the Legal Reasoning Test, and the Legal Essay Test.

Mathematics PhD Applicants : Mathematics Examination All applicants are required to take a mathematics examination covering analysis, basic algebra, and probability theory. The examination will be held on March 9, 2002, at the majority of the Soros foundation offices listed in this Admissions Bulletin. Applicants not residing in countries where Soros foundations operate, or those who were not able to attend the CEU mathematics examinations, are required to submit an official GRE score by March 18, 2002.

Medieval Studies Applicants : Greek, Latin and/or Old Church Slavonic Languages Examination Due to the need for additional language skills, all applicants to the Department of Medieval Studies are required to take a Greek, Latin and/or Old Church Slavonic examination depending on the nature of their research interests.

Please note that samples of previous years’ tests may be obtained from the local Soros foundation offices, the CEU Admissions Office or from the departmental web page: http://www.ceu.hu/medstud.

Evaluation of Test ScoresUpon receipt of examination scores, each departmental/program selection committee conducts a competitive re-evaluation of the complete application file and invites selected individuals to continue with the admissions process or rejects their application. Please note that meeting the minimum language requirement does not automatically result in being invited for an interview. Approximate date of notification: between March 25 and April 30, 2002

Stage Three: InterviewCEU faculty or local CEU representatives interview selected applicants in their home countries whenever possible and necessary under the departmental evaluation procedures. Telephone interviews may also be conducted under certain circumstances. In situations where the applicant cannot be interviewed in person or a telephone interview is deemed impractical, the department/program may, at its discretion, accept the applicant’s documentation as sufficient data for an evaluation. All interviewing is typically conducted during the month of April. Some departments, such as Economics and Legal Studies, do not conduct interviews but make their final decisions based on the application materials and test result.

Interviews are used to further evaluate the applicant’s knowledge of and interest in a particular academic field as well as any related experience, language ability and his/her personal goals. Interviewers also evaluate the extent to which the applicant will contribute to and benefit from the department/program in question.

Stage Four: Final EvaluationThose applicants who passed the first three stages of the admissions process are once again evaluated at this point by a departmental/program selection committee before final decisions of acceptance are made. Each applicant is considered on the basis of past academic achievement, strength of recommendations, English language competency, intellectual merit and general compatibility with the goals of the department/program.

Departmental/program selection committees may choose to offer an applicant admission, place him/her on a waiting list or decline admission.

78


Notifications of Acceptance, Waiting List or RejectionThe CEU Admissions Office issues the official notification of acceptance, waiting list or rejection. Decisions may also be communicated through the CEU coordinators in the local Soros foundations. Students who are offered acceptance or placed on the waiting list will be notified shortly after May 25, 2002. Rejected candidates will be notified shortly after May 31, 2002.

Acceptance by Order of Student ChoiceStudents may apply to two separate departments at CEU by sending one original application with the appropriate attachments and one photocopy for each degree program. Application materials should be sent together and first and second choice should be clearly indicated. Admission will be offered on the basis of “first choice” indicated on the application. If the “first choice” department rejects the applicant, but the “second choice” department accepts the applicant, the student will be offered admission directly to his/her “second choice”. If both departments accept the applicant, an admission offer will be made from the “first choice” department, and not both. Only in exceptional cases and upon written justification, students may be permitted to change the order of their preference if they notify the CEU Admissions Office by March 22, 2002.

PART VII: FINANCIAL AID81



GENERAL INFORMATIONAdmission to CEU is based on an overall evaluation of the candidate including academic achievement, strength of recommendations, English language competency and general compatibility with the goals of the department/program. CEU admits candidates who accept the mission of CEU and its curriculum – tuned to that mission. CEU admits students based on academic merit. Central European University does not discriminate on the basis of – including, but not limited to – race, color, national and ethnic origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation in administering its policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Each academic year, CEU awards approximately 700 tuition waivers and a number of student living packages in the form of a: 1) full CEU fellowship, or 2) partial financial aid.

Full or partial financial aid is awarded based on the department/program academic merit ranking and the students’ “Request for Financial Aid” section H. of the Application Form. The full CEU fellowship covers tuition, room and board, student activity fee, health insurance, and a monthly stipend. Travel and visa grants are also available. CEU awards partial financial aid according to a sliding scale, starting with a full fellowship, a full tuition waiver and a partial living scholarship, a full tuition waiver only, and partial tuition waiver. The exact number of CEU fellowship awards is each year determined by the university’s management, within the framework of the policy approved by the Board of Trustees.

Financial Aid EligibilityFrom the 2001/2002 academic year, the university will continue to focus on individuals and organizations in the CEE/fSU region while extending the CEU Fellowship Program worldwide. Continued priority concerning the award of scholarships will be given to students from countries of the post-communist world and emerging democracies. However, students from all over the world are eligible to apply for financial aid from CEU.

No student may receive more than one fellowship (or partial financial aid) to study at CEU, except in the event of vertical movement along a course of study, e.g., MA to PhD (this does not preclude the award of a New York MPhil from doctoral degree granting programs). Students seeking to pursue a horizontal course of study (e.g., a second Master’s degree) may apply for admission, but will not be considered for a second CEU fellowship award or partial financial assistance.

Recipients of full fellowships and partial financial assistance may be subject to means testing and must follow the CEU guidelines attached to the fellowship. CEU reserves the right to alter the terms of the fellowship award and eligibility requirements at any time.

Tuition waivers and scholarships are awarded for the immediately following academic year only. These awards are valid for one year and are not transferable if the student defers enrollment. In the case of a two-year Master’s program, the award can be extended for the second year, based on academic performance achieved during the first year, and in accordance with the academic merit tuition waiver procedures.

For applicants from the United States: Central European University is not a participating institution in the Student Financial Assistance Program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act (Title IV, HEA Program). However, CEU provides assistance to interested students in obtaining other loans.

In SummaryEach student offered admission to Central European University is accepted on the basis of academic merit. Ability or willingness to pay tuition and fees does not strengthen a student’s application nor does it provide for any kind of preferential treatment. Decisions on financial aid are made on the basis of merit ranking of the students to be accepted. This list is drawn up by the departments/programs and decisions on financial aid based on a sliding scale are taken in consultation between the department/program and a central Financial Aid Committee. Decisions on financial aid will be announced together with the offer of acceptance to CEU. Financial aid offers are not negotiable after the submission of the signed Enrollment Confirmation Form.

FORMS OF FINANCIAL AID

CEU Fellowship82


The CEU Fellowship is a full financial aid package, which covers tuition and all other fees. CEU fellowship recipients will receive a monthly stipend determined by their housing choice.

Tuition Fee WaiverFull or partial tuition fee waivers are awarded on the basis of academic merit ranking during the admissions process.

Full Living ScholarshipThe full Living Scholarship covers room and board, health insurance, student activity fee and a monthly stipend.

Partial Living ScholarshipThe Partial Living Scholarship provides students with accommodation in the CEU Residence and Conference Center in Budapest, covers their meals, the student activity fee and health insurance. Student recipients of this scholarship must provide their own pocket money.

Students accepted in the Sociology program in Warsaw, Poland, may apply for a Full or Partial Living Scholarship. The partial scholarship will cover only housing costs.

Travel Grant Students residing in countries that are not immediate neighbors to Hungary (or Poland in the case of those applying for Sociology) may apply for a travel grant to cover the costs of return airfare from their home countries. Travel grant decisions will be announced together with the admission results or shortly thereafter.

Request for Reimbursement of Test FeesApplicants from countries without Soros foundations who are required to take standard substitute tests offeredthroughout the world may apply for some financial contribution from CEU toward the cost of the relevant test.These applications will be considered on a case-by-case reimbursement basis.

Other Scholarship FundsEvery year CEU raises a limited number of scholarships from private and governmental donors, foundations and corporations. Decisions on these scholarship awards are made by the respective department on the basis of outstanding academic merit. Applicants will be notified in their acceptance letter if they were also recipients of a special individual scholarship.

External SponsorshipApplicants who have secured external financial support for their studies at CEU must indicate so in their application form. A notarized letter of support from the sponsor/employer should be attached to the application. If the original letter is written in a language other than English, a certified translation should be attached. Tuition fee payments, whether made directly by the sponsor or by the student, must reach CEU by the due dates.

Inter-Europa Bank Tuition Loan SchemeThrough a special agreement with Inter-Europa Bank (IEB), based in Budapest, Hungary, CEU offers tuition loans to students at the Master’s level. Bank loans are not available to PhD students. The loan program is available only to students at the Budapest teaching site and is designed to help cover the cost of tuition. Student loans can be taken for a minimum of 10 % of the tuition fee and a maximum of 100% of the tuition fee, depending on the tuition waiver offered by CEU. The IEB loan is available to cover tuition costs only. The loan contract is signed for a period of 48 months and the repayment period begins 12 months from the date of the recipient's enrollment at CEU.

Individuals who have applied for and received Inter-Europa Bank student loans to cover the cost of their CEU tuition, or part of it, will be informed by June 30, and upon arrival in Budapest will be invited to sign their loan contract and a declaration. Under the conditions of this loan program, the bank will transfer directly to CEU the amount of the loan. Failure to meet any of the obligations connected with the administration of the loan program will result in the individual’s access to university services being suspended, according to the CEU Policy on Holds.

83


For information on the Inter-Europa Bank loan program, please contact Fatime Plotar, Financial Aid Officer.Monument Building, Second floor, Room 203, Extension: 3287, Email: [email protected]

Funding Eligibility (46 Month Funding Rule)Student recipients of financial aid at CEU are eligible for a maximum of 46 months of tuition waiver and stipend payments. The maximum period of funding for Master’s level studies is 12 months, except for Economics, which is a two-year program. The maximum period of funding for the British MPhil is 15 months. The maximum period of funding for doctoral studies is 36 months.

Funding Conditions for Doctoral ProgramsIn the first 12 months of the doctoral program, students are required to spend a full academic year in residence and take courses for credit (requirements vary between 10 and 32 credits) and are obligated to take a comprehensive examination. In exceptional cases, students can petition to postpone this examination. Special conditions apply for the Economics PhD program, which requires 18 months in residence. For most departments, students are required to submit their doctoral dissertation within five years of passing the comprehensive examination. During this time, the remaining 24 months of stipends can be used consecutively or in separate “chunks” (for example, 6 months + 6 months + 12 months, with breaks between) within five years, or the remaining funding can be spread over a maximum of five years by lowering the monthly stipend. This can be done according to the individual study plan of the doctoral student, subject to approval from the department and the Vice President for Student Services.

Doctoral students can take leave of absence for personal reasons or to pursue non-CEU funded research abroad. Normally, leave may be taken for up to 12 months but cannot be shorter than three months. Fellowship students can suspend their CEU stipend (“stop the clock”) for reasons of personal leave or research abroad. The CEU-funded semester abroad (Doctoral Research Support Program) does not count within the 46-month funding rule. However, doctoral students receiving the Doctoral Research Support Grant may not receive their CEU stipend at the same time.
