In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). You will take compulsory modules in economics and business in years one and two, with a compulsory dissertation in your final year. In each year you choose the remainder of your modules from options in economics, politics, sociology, international relations, mathematical and statistical methodology and language.
You will be strongly encouraged to learn a language of the region as part of your degree. Not only will you be able to make use of our excellent language teaching resources, but you will also be able to access the foreign language newspaper and television resources of the SSEES Library.

About this course
You will gain insight into the theoretical, conceptual and analytical tools of social science and their application in understanding the processes of transition and transformation in Central and Eastern Europe. This programme is taught by academics who are actively researching in the field, most of whom speak one or more of the languages of the region. The UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) is the largest national centre in the UK for the study of Central, Eastern and South-East Europe and Russia. The SSEES Library contains over 400,000 books, journals and film resources. The department is regularly consulted by organisations such as the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Union.
After graduating from this programme you will have transferable knowledge and skills in economics and business. You will also have expertise in a region where complex issues of political change, economic development and international relations are reshaping national and social expectations. Career destinations of previous graduates include government service (in the UK and the EU), international agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), consultancy (economic, political risk, security, marketing), banking, financial services, law, media, teaching and the leisure sector, as well as further study.
English Language at grade B or 6, plus Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
