卡尔顿大学

The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to the study of Europe, Russia and Eurasia. You will be able to build a program according to your specific interests, combining subjects such as history, politics, economics, language and culture. You will examine issues such as international security, nationalism and ethnic conflict, crime and corruption, the effects of globalization, migration and multiculturalism, environmental and social policy, democratization and civil society, collective memory and national identity, market reform and European integration. In your third or fourth year, you may choose to take part in an academic exchange in a European country or in Russia and/or co-op employment. In addition to the core academic program, the Institute hosts a number of special lectures by high-profile experts, foreign visitors and embassy personnel throughout the year. An internship program is available to qualified fourth-year students.

Carleton University offers a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in European and Russian Studies. You will need 20.0 credits for the degree, usually completed over four years of full-time study. Required credits for the program include courses in European and Russian Studies, History, Political Science and Economics. The Institute’s degree program can be combined with other BA (Honours) programs in political science, law or history or with the Bachelor of Journalism program for students already accepted in the Journalism program resulting in a combined degree. It can also be combined with minors in other departments, including European languages.

Future opportunities
