Central & East European Studies
Student Testimonials
“The emphasis is very much on interdisciplinary study, and I can’t think of any other degree that would enable you to combine aspects of political science, history, sociology, linguistics and cultural studies, all within the same degree.”
David McNeill, CEES Student Joint Honours 2010
“I always knew I wanted to study Eastern Europe, and so it was a clear path through to Honours level. I love the variety of modules we can study in CEES, from the Russian Revolution right through to the post-Soviet era.”
Sarah Harrison, CEES Student Single Honours 2010
“I didn’t actually apply to do CEES, but I found the 1st year course really interesting and never looked back. I am so glad they started running the single honours course! It’s brilliant that the university is flexible in that sense; you can study something other than what you applied for. The best things would probably be the fascinating nature of the course which covers both historical and present issues, and the nature of the department, everyone is so approachable and willing to help you in any way they can.”
Ruth Allerstorfer, CEES Student Single Honours 2010
“It was actually CEES that attracted me to Glasgow Uni, I liked that it incorporated different disciplines into one subject and that I would have the opportunity to be flexible. The best thing about studying History/CEES is that I have a greater understanding for the world around me – I love reading the news and having a grasp for the wider world.”
Daisy Robson, CEES Student Joint Honours 2011
“I thought it would be interesting to study a region I was born in from a more objective perspective than would be available in the Czech Republic. I was glad to be able to join my CEES studies with Russian language classes which helped me to get more insight into Russia’s history and culture.”
Jan Semotan, CEES Student Joint Honours 2010
