What is ExpREES all about?
Are you enrolled in a Finnish university? Would you like to specialise in Eastern Europe (incl. Ukraine, countries in Eastern Central Europe and South-Eastern Europe, the Baltic countries), Russia, Central Asia or the Southern Caucasus in your master’s?
The Aleksanteri Institute at the University of Helsinki coordinates a network of 12 Finnish universities which offer a multidisciplinary study programme known as ExpREES. You can choose this minor as part of your master’s degree in, for example, arts, social sciences, engineering or business. ExpREES is all about a variety of perspectives!
