Letter from CEU's President and Rector

Central European University: An Overview Mission: Devoted to Education and Open Society A Brief History Concept of an Open Society Registration and Accreditation Board of Trustees Principal Officers Faculty Student BodyCEU Alumni

Letter from CEU’s President and Rector

Dear prospective CEU student,

CEU prepares to welcome a new generation of students in academic year 2003/2004 as a more complete university, with greater ambitions of cultivating academic excellence and active social involvement.

The academic structure of the university is now strengthened with the relocation of the Sociology Department from Warsaw to Budapest, adding to the other 15 academic units and research centers operating here. CEU is a graduate research university dedicated mainly to social sciences and humanities and the presence of a Sociology Department on the Budapest campus is an essential component that will help significantly with the efforts to ensure high quality interdisciplinary teaching and research in these areas.

Another important new addition to the range of academic offerings of CEU is the establishment of a Graduate School of Business. The school, resulting from the full integration of the International Management Center (previously loosely affiliated with CEU), aims at training business leaders with outstanding management skills and, not less important, with a sense of civic responsibility. The curriculum of the school combines global business concepts and practices with the realities and challenges of the regional business environment.

The beginning of the third millennium has arrived with new global challenges and the CEU academic community is fully engaged in an effort to pursue a type of new knowledge that could help to tackle these challenges successfully, along the shifting boundary of the local and the universal. The outstanding international faculty of CEU and its topnotch students deal with theoretical issues which have major practical consequences, such as how to conceive the balance between the pressing needs for security and the respect for human rights; what kind of equilibrium to envisage between the thirst for maximizing economic or financial benefits with concerns for ethical or environmental standards. Do recent developments such as the 2000 US presidential elections (the Florida vote-counting controversy), the major accounting scandals and the many cases of corporate fraud, the seeming violation of human rights even in the US, mean that the moral superiority with which the West frequently confronts the rest of the world is less obvious and has to be rethought in a spirit of modesty and joint efforts with the non-Western parts of the globe?

For academic year 2002/2003, CEU received a record number of applications, from about 72 countries. This is a good indication that, while continuing to focus on its traditional constituency, CEU is progressing with its plans for "going global."

We look forward to welcoming you too as a member of the CEU community.

Your

Yehuda Elkana

CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY: AN OVERVIEW

MISSION: DEVOTED TO EDUCATION AND OPEN SOCIETYCentral 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) and other emerging democracies 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, 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 in consideration of the need for a wider, comparative perspective, in 2001 CEU decided that, 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 HISTORYCentral 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. 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 930 students from altogether 46 countries.

CONCEPT OF AN OPEN SOCIETYAn 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 ACCREDITATIONCEU 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 New York 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 US; (+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.

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

FACULTYOver 100 professors from around the world teach at CEU; they come from countries including Australia, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and Yugoslavia. Additionally, CEU hosts a number of visiting professors who teach courses and give frequent lectures and seminars, thus giving students access to highly respected academics from other institutions.

STUDENT BODYDuring the 2002/2003 academic year, CEU enrollment is expected to stand at 930 regular degree and non-degree students. Out of the 930 students 550 are newly enrolled degree students and 380 are continuing and non-degree students, from altogether 46 countries. The newly enrolled students are drawn from 43 countries including 27 countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (CEE/fSU), Western Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia. In addition, CEU enrolls a number of non-degree and visiting students as well as undergraduate students from North America on a semester study abroad program. For further details on the study abroad program, please refer to "Joint Program with Bard College" under "Academic Departments and Programs."

CEU ALUMNIAs of 2002 the number of CEU alumni has grown to approximately 4,400 individuals. Through the Alumni Affairs Office, CEU maintains contacts with about 90 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. The CEU alumni program also offers a number of services and benefits, fully described on the alumni web pages at www.ceu.hu/students_alumni.html.

The Second Annual CEU Alumni Leadership Forum was held in October 2001 in Budapest. The forum established the CEU Alumni & Friends Association (CEU-AFA), by adopting the constitution of the association. Later in spring 2002, all CEU alumni were invited to participate in a referendum on the CEU Alumni & Friends Association. Based on the results of the referendum, the CEU-AFA Constitution took effect on April 22, 2002, and now facilitates the activities and collaboration of all alumni members throughout the world. It provides the basis for further developing the CEU alumni network and enhancing already existing alumni programs. One of the recent alumni association initiatives was the first CEU alumni scholarship fundraising campaign undertaken during 2001. With generous gifts from more than 500 alumni, CEU was able to award the first Alumni Fellowship to a student selected from among the best candidates of each department.

As indicated by the placement statistics in the tables on page 9, 67 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, prestigious companies, and government administrations, consistent with CEU's mission to contribute to the development of open societies, democracy, rule of law, tolerance and political and cultural pluralism in CEE/fSU and other parts of the world experiencing emerging democracies.Students find in CEU a stepping stone toward a career focused on national and international processes such as EU expansion, CEE/fSU policy and grantmaking and 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."

Thirty-three 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 most of the countries in CEE/fSU, as well as in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. At least once per year CEU holds a major alumni event, such as the Alumni Leadership Forum, supplemented by numerous activities in every country where alumni volunteers are active.

More information on CEU alumni is available in the section on "Student Services and Alumni" at http://www.ceu.hu.

"The courses at CEU are great. But the university has a huge extra value to offer on top of them. It really is a unique community and a very special place to be."

Patrick ZoltvanyInternational Relations and European Studies 1998SlovakiaSenior EU Affairs Consultant, AMROP JENEWEIN GROUP

"Living in a CEU environment I have learnt more about different cultures than in any course or study abroad program. Studying at CEU I have acquired skills that have helped me ever since in my professional life. CEU is a really unique place which prepares you for both further academic and professional life."

Susan AbbottPolitical Science MA 1999United States of AmericaProgram Officer, International Research and Exchange Board, Washington DC

"Interestingly, I often come across CEU alumni in DC, as well as others who have passed through CEU in Budapest and Warsaw. I would say that the school's reputation is on the rise as people hear more about it and as its graduates start entering the job market. In DC, CEU's alumni work for a variety of NGOs, think tanks, the IMF and the World Bank, as well as private sector types of jobs. We have over 100 alumni affiliated with our CEU DC Alumni & Friends Chapter and it seems that each passing month I get a phone call or email from alumni who are moving to DC or just passing through."

"Central European University is the greenhouse for future national and international policymakers of Central and Eastern Europe and the NIS. This is why I encourage students from the region to go to Central European University."

Sergiu BotezatuEconomics 1994MoldovaProject Management Specialist, USAID, Moldova

"Central European University completely changed my life. For me, and I think for most of the people that came from the former Soviet Union, CEU was a window, a bridge to an entirely different world. A world that made me believe that every individual has so many resources in himself that he cannot imagine. And using just a small part of them is enough to make one capable of changing the entire world for the better."

Zornitsa Stefanova-IvanovaPolitical Sciences 1998BulgariaManaging Director, Compass Translation Services Ltd., Bulgaria

"Looking back to the years spent at CEU, the greatest advantage I can see was the opportunity to both immensely expand my knowledge in my field of interest and to acquire international experience. This has helped me a lot in my business life. By the way, many CEU alumni in Bulgaria hold important positions in the administration, NGOs, companies and academic societies and we keep in touch and help each other. In my early 20s, at CEU, I realized that when you become friends with people from different countries, you start to appreciate and value their culture, region, beliefs and attitudes."

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 mandatory 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 (Semester I and Semester II), and a two-month Spring Session during which the student prepares a Master's thesis or research project. Generally, programs run for 10 months, the Master's program in Economics runs for two academic years and the MBA in International Management runs for 16 months: see individual program descriptions for details.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 are noted.

Doctoral Degree ProgramsA CEU doctoral program normally takes three to six 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 examination and a thesis prospectus) typically lasts one year. During the first year of doctoral study probationary doctoral candidates must complete a minimum of the course credits specified by their 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 candidacy is the period during which the student pursues research toward the dissertation; this period normally lasts an additional two to five years.Students approved for full doctoral candidacy are encouraged to pursue their dissertation research and to build international scholarly contacts through a study abroad program. This allows CEU doctoral students to participate actively in the global development of research in 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, and 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

10

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.

NON-DEGREE AND VISITING STUDENTSCentral European University admits applicants who wish to undertake a limited period of study as non-degree students. These are individuals who do not wish to pursue a degree at CEU but are interested in taking specific courses or conducting supervised research. Such applicants may be accepted with a non-degree student status for the duration of a course, a semester or an academic year. The non-degree student status is normally available to individuals who have earned a first degree from a recognized university or institution of higher education and are able to present evidence of English language proficiency (if they are not native speakers of English). Such students may enroll as visiting students.

For students enrolled in degree programs at other recognized universities or institutions of higher education Central European University offers a number of special programs which include, but are not limited to, the CEU Doctoral Support Program, the CEU Returning Doctoral Students Program and study abroad programs. Students coming to CEU for a limited period of study under any of these special programs may be enrolled as visiting or exchange students, depending on the program, for the duration of a course, semester or academic year.

For more information on CEU's Non-degree and Visiting Students Policy and an application form, prospective students are invited to visit the Prospective Students section of the CEU's website or to contact the Admissions Office.

Doctoral Support Program (DSP) for non-CEU StudentsThe Doctoral Support Program (DSP) is 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 from one semester to one academic year at CEU and are eligible to apply for financial aid. DSP students may apply at the time of the general application deadline or throughout the academic year. Those who submit an application after CEU's general application 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 DSP students are encouraged to interact with the other program participants and faculty. Currently, the following departments and programs sponsor doctoral support students: Economics, Gender Studies, History, Legal Studies, Mathematics and its Applications, Medieval Studies, Nationalism, Philosophy, and Political Science. For application information candidates should refer to the 2003/2004 Application for Admission.

Student ExchangesThrough a number of exchange agreements with other institutions of higher education, CEU hosts a number of exchange students each year. 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, the Columbia University School of Law, Cornell University, Emory University, the University of Georgia, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, Leiden University, the University of Toronto and others.

Study Abroad ProgramA separate study abroad program is available for undergraduate students from North America to study at CEU. 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 ceu@bard.edu.

The Department of Economics has an internationally renowned faculty which excels both in teaching and research. Only about five percent of our applicants get accepted into one of our programs, so the student body is extremely competitive, hard working and motivated. The department hosts an international research seminar series and regularly organizes workshops and conferences in various areas of economics. For example in November 2002 the department will be home of the Winter Europe Meeting of the Econometric Society. The department not only teaches state of the art economics, but also allows students to get involved in different ongoing research projects, an opportunity to get first hand experience in applied and theoretical research.

Laszlo Matyas

THE MASTER’S 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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department. 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 types of economies. The department provides students with an understanding of the functioning of markets and the role of the state in an economy relying predominantly on market allocation. Students attend rigorous courses in the 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 their topics of interest, with faculty supervision.

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements), applicants to the Economics Department must obtain a minimum TOEFL score of 570 (or CTOEFL 230) and demonstrate advanced mathematical skills by passing an examination in basic calculus, probability theory and linear algebra. Exceptionally, candidates who are resident in countries where they cannot attend the examination are allowed to submit a GRE score instead. 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 or 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. The letter should also outline all relevant courses taken, and demonstrate that the applicant has 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.

Master's Program Structure• FIRST YEAR

12

The first year of the program starts with a four-week Pre-Session during which students participate in intensive mathematics and statistics courses, computer training and a course in English for academic purposes. During the Pre-Session, both first-year students and students accepted directly into the second year of the program will be required to attend mandatory courses in mathematics and statistics. Each course will be followed by an examination, graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Students have to pass both examinations in order to be allowed to continue studying in the program. Those who fail either of the two examinations are entitled to one retake only. Failing both examinations or failing a retake examination will result in exclusion from the program. Such students will not be allowed to continue in the Economics MA program and will have to leave CEU after the results are announced. 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.

Students must take a minimum of 56 taught credits during the two years of the Master's 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 YEARStudents offered direct second-year entry start with a four-week Pre-Session during which they have to attend the mandatory courses in mathematics and statistics and successfully pass the examinations, as described above. The Pre-Session is followed by 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 focuses on traditional advanced courses in core theory as well as on more advanced field topics in economics. Students enrolled in the one-year program must take a minimum of 30 taught credits in the second year plus 12 credits for their MA theses.

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 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 DOCTORAL 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. The PhD program is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Research OpportunitiesResearch opportunities are available to PhD students. Apart from using the library and computer research resources within the university, they can actively participate as authors and/or co-authors of papers presented in the Budapest Economics Seminar Series or published in the Economics Department Working Papers Series.

During the period when they prepare their dissertations, PhD students are expected to work closely with their thesis supervisors and to undertake research activities while in residence at CEU or in other universities and/or foreign research institutions. The research period is intended to broaden the students' experience by stimulating interaction with leading academic researchers and fellow students in other universities.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramThe Department of Economics admits around ten students each year to the PhD program. Students seeking admission to the PhD program offered by the Department of Economics must meet the general CEU admissions requirements for doctoral programs (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements). In addition, applicants to the PhD program in Economics must arrange to take the GRE individually and submit a score by January 6, 2003, together with the application materials. For information on the Graduate Records Examination visit http://www.gre.org.

Successful applicants are expected to hold an MA in economics or in related fields (i.e., mathematics, statistics, etc.) or equivalent degrees with a GPA of 3.3 or higher. In addition, candidates will be required to prove proficiency in mathematics, familiarity with relevant economic theory and with research methodology. For qualified students who do not have an MA degree there is an option to apply for admission into the second year of the Master's program and continue with the PhD program after completion of the MA degree. A research interest in the region is preferred but not required. Applicants to the PhD program should submit three letters of recommendation, relevant graduate and undergraduate

Degrees offered: Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy (MS)Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences and Policy (PhD)

Average length of study: MS: 11 months; PhD: three years (full-time); six years (part-time)Graduation requirements: MS: 30 course credits and thesis (10 credits)

PhD: 32 course credits; thesis and its defense

We would like to welcome prospective students who have decided to choose environmental protection as the field of their professional interest.

With the passing of years alumni of our department have created a unique network of environmental professionals working in the scientific, educational, governmental and non-governmental institutions of many countries. The intensive one-year Master's Program in Environmental Sciences and Policy here at CEU has allowed them to work successfully in many relevant fields. The quality of our student body has always been high and we look forward to maintaining its level in the future.

Ruben Mnatsakanian

THE MASTER’S 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 Environmental Sciences and Policy Master's program is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department. It is also validated by the University of Manchester (UK).

Entry Requirements for the Master's Program In addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General 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 degree subjects 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 candidates holding these must demonstrate a clear commitment to the subject, usually through work experience or other extracurricular activities.

Master's Program StructureThe MS program is divided into two parts, a taught element normally extending from September until March, and a research element from April until the end of July. Due to the varied backgrounds of the students, the first aim of the taught portion is to introduce all students to the basic principles required for a full understanding of the various subject areas. This is achieved in the core course, in which attendance is mandatory. The subsequent semester of specialized study builds upon these skills by focusing on issues of prime importance in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and relating them to global problems and solutions. This section of the taught part contains a mix of compulsory material and electives, and is organized according to different study streams, emphasizing a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to topics including economic, political as well as scientific and technological control.

17

In the thesis research component of the course, students are given a wide choice of research project areas. Their chosen project must be completed by late July and submitted as a dissertation.

Why study gender?

To examine and question pervasive assumptions about women and men, male and female, and their interrelations, that lie at the heart of society and culture.

To analyze the discrepancy between the value of being born equal and persistent patterns of dominance related to gender, class, race, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic, national or regional origin.

To develop ways of learning, teaching and living that enable an adequate representation of the interests and aspirations of all people.

Susan Zimmermann

THE DEPARTMENTThe Department of Gender Studies offers degree programs in Gender Studies at the MA and PhD levels and serves as an organizational base for non-degree studies in various forms, as well as for other activities in the field.

The department seeks to attract students and young scholars from a wide range of disciplines in humanities and social sciences. Applicants should have a genuine interest in developing their knowledge and scholarly perspectives beyond the individual disciplines they have studied at the undergraduate (or Master's) level. The specific profile of the department is its focus on integrative and comparative approaches in gender studies. The program promotes a variety of interrelated scholarly interests such as: global perspectives, allowing for the accounting of the interrelation between transnational and local developments and the dynamics of creating and contesting global hierarchies; insight into the particular and the general in developments related to gender in different regions in the world; the complex relationships between symbolic and social order, culture and society; the entanglement of gender with other categories of analysis and interpretation; and the critique of dominant patterns of the construction of knowledge.

With an important, but not exclusive, focus on Central and Eastern Europe, both the Master's and PhD programs seek to contribute to the development of socially relevant knowledge based on these types of approaches. For further information consult the Statement of Purpose for the Department of Gender Studies, available on the departmental website at http://www.ceu.hu.

THE MASTER’S PROGRAMThe Master's program in Gender Studies offers a basic and comprehensive graduate education in gender studies with a focus on interdisciplinarity. It aims at the development of integrative perspectives on gender as an important element constituting social and symbolic order at the local and the global levels. These missions are pursued through a variety of teaching and learning strategies such as: introducing basic approaches and scholarly findings in gender studies across disciplines; combining coursework with foci on the social order, the symbolic order, and theory; supporting and stimulating students in their critical and autonomous thinking. Students in the MA degree program are required to develop their scholarly perspectives substantially beyond their immediate fields of interest. After having completed the program, students should have substantially developed their capacities for independent and critical thinking in terms of multi-focal education and an interest in problem-oriented approaches.

21

Students are required to complete 40 credit hours (32 course credits, 4 research colloquium credits and 4 thesis-writing credits). The two mandatory courses among these cover 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 a supervisor. The thesis defense takes place at the end of the Spring Session as an oral examination. The Master of Arts degree in Gender Studies is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements), applicants 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.

THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMThe particular features of the Gender Studies doctoral program are the foci on integrative perspectives and on comparison in gender studies, both strengthening and supporting each other. The guiding belief is to intertwine inquiry into gender as a problem formerly marginalized in academy with inquiry into diversified patterns of social and cultural change (namely in Central Eastern Europe) as a problem marginalized in most of academy internationally. In seeking to understand the complexity of gender, and in combining the critique of androcentrism with a critique of Eurocentric perspectives and epistemologies, society and culture, particularly (but not exclusively) in Central and Eastern Europe is understood as a product of the often unequal and hierarchical entangling, intertwining, and transfer between global, regional and local developments. The PhD degree program in this manner seeks to contribute to overcoming the tendency to study gender in a seemingly ahistorical, and fragmented manner, with insufficient grounding in analyses of institutions, social processes and the material conditions of life.The registration of the PhD degree in Comparative Gender Studies by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department is in progress.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements), applicants must submit three (instead of two) confidential letters of recommendation, and a three-page research proposal. A research interest with a comparative and/or integrative background or perspective is preferred. In order to be eligible for admission into the doctoral program, applicants must hold an undergraduate (BA) or a graduate (MA) degree in a subject other than gender studies.

PhD specialization in Gender Studies under the PhD Program in Comparative History: see History DepartmentDoctoral Program StructureThe first year of studies in the PhD program is dedicated to coursework, tutorials and preparation for the comprehensive examination to be held at the end of the first year. Coursework includes the mandatory classes concerning the general themes of Comparative Gender Studies and Research Methods and Approaches in Gender Studies. Having passed the examination, students are admitted to doctoral candidacy. The second year is dedicated to research at home or in the field. Additional study abroad at universities with a high international reputation is institutionally supported. 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 58 credits and defend their PhD dissertations.

PhD specialization in Gender Studies under the PhD in Comparative History:For a general description see the History Department. Mandatory classes must be taken in the History Department, elective classes are to be chosen mainly from the PhD curriculum of the Department of Gender Studies and relevant course offerings from History and other departments.

2001/2002 has been the tenth academic year of graduate instruction in history at CEU. As each of its predecessors, this year has been special. Some old hopes and plans came true, others remained unfulfilled, while new ones have been conceived. History never ends.

We have proceeded towards the realization of our ideas—to operate as a laboratory for methodological transfer, as a bridge between the humanities and the social sciences in creating relevant knowledge—mainly by increasing the diversity of the ways in which the human experience within and beyond the region is grasped in our curriculum. New topics were introduced by visiting faculty, and courses in a new format took place in collaboration with other CEU units like Medieval Studies and the Open Society Archives.

Our faculty seminar, first launched and quickly aborted in 1998 but made regular since the fall of 2000, has become what it was intended to be: the monthly reports by a faculty member about his/her current research and the ensuing discussions have been found a source of inspiration for speakers and listeners alike.

International events hosted by the department included an interdisciplinary workshop to reassess the relevance of the tradition of the humanities at the fin-de-millénnaire, to reflect on the problem of the decreasing awareness of the contribution of this tradition among the general public, and on the resulting tasks for the scholars of these disciplines. Our doctoral students continued their initiatives in creating a network of intercultural dialogue that comes to life in exciting scholarly gatherings and volumes, published and planned, with a workshop on the role of methodological transfer in generating new research.

"Methodological transfer", the ongoing adaptation of innovative efforts in historical studies, manifests itself not only in new courses but also new faces. In 2003 there will be at least one new appointment, which will help us to put the history of science on the horizon of cultural history. But in order to have a good department, perhaps more than brilliant and dedicated teachers, one also needs a steady supply of gifted students. The past gives ground for optimism. I am confident that the future will be no less exciting and distinguished.

Laszlo Kontler

THE DEPARTMENTThe 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.

25

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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department. 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 supply 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 mentalite, intellectual history, postmodernism, etc.). For more information on faculty profiles, course descriptions and recent MA thesis topics, see the department's web page at http://www.ceu.hu/hist/histdir.html

History MA students may opt for pursuing a Specialization in Jewish Studies, which the History Department runs in collaboration with the Nationalism Studies Program. For more details, see the information on the Nationalism Studies Program.

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General 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.

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.

THE DOCTORAL 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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department, 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 at 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 universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Columbia, Maryland, Michigan and Toronto.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 Department of Gender Studies or the Nationalism Studies Program during year one, and enter the History PhD program for years two and three. Candidates for

26

the PhD program with a specialization in Gender Studies or in Nationalism Studies should follow the general admissions requirements for the doctoral program. For each specialization a joint committee reviews applications.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramIn addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General 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.

Julius Horvath

THE DEPARTMENTThe 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. Since 2001 the program has been registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

THE MASTER’S PROGRAMThe Master's 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 and also makes students acquainted with the major contemporary approaches, and research methodology. 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 has a strong focus on the European Union and its enlargement. Students become familiarized with the main theories of European integration and also more concrete institutional and policy issues. In addition, the component covers the comparative politics of Western Europe as well as Central and Eastern Europe. Research interests of the faculty cover a broad range of subjects including international and comparative political economy, European integration, EU politics, policy and institutions, enlargement of the EU, international political theory, international relations theory, international organizations, security theory, ethnic violence and conflict, Southeastern Europe, etc.

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramIn addition to the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements), IRES requires all applicants to the Master's program to submit a written statement of approximately 500 words outlining the applicant's study and research interests.

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.

Master's Program StructureThe Master's program consists of a Pre-Session, two semesters and a Spring Session, with each segment serving as a foundation for the following segment. The Pre-Session includes individual assessment of spoken and written English, an introduction to courses and an orientation to CEU and Budapest.

29

During the autumn and winter semesters students are required to attend courses regularly. Courses generally comprise lectures, seminar presentations and discussions, building strongly on the contributions of the participants. Coursework is therefore based on regular reading assignments, written assignments and individual research for presentations.

During the Spring Session, students conduct research, consult with their supervisors and write their theses.

Throughout the year, students also have the opportunity to attend a variety of workshops and seminars, as well as lectures presented by visiting faculty or guest lecturers.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TRACK WITHIN THE PHD IN POLITICAL SCIENCEWhile taught and administered by the Department of International Relations and European Studies, the International Relations (IR) 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 must take 32 credits of coursework and present a research prospectus at a comprehensive examination. Those taking a major in IR must obtain 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.

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.

PhD courses 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 Semester II and during the Spring Session, there is a prospectus seminar which functions as a research workshop in which first year PhD students discuss the drafts for their prospectuses, while more advanced PhD students present more advanced research outlines, or dissertation chapters.

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

Insisting on the highest standards in advanced education has proved to be the best path for us in the ten years of our history: the road might be painstaking but it enables our students (and thereby us, too) to achieve success and satisfaction. Continuing along in the same tradition the Legal Studies Department starts new programs that equip students with a combination of sophisticated legal knowledge and abilities as well as skills to protect and bring justice to people.

Csilla Kollonay Lehoczky

THE DEPARTMENTThe main endeavor of the CEU Legal Studies Department is to offer advanced legal education of the highest standard within the region of Central and Eastern Europe. The department is the first institution in this region to offer graduate instruction in Human Rights, and is one of only a very few schools in the world capable of offering an LLM degree in Human Rights. The International Business Law and Comparative Constitutional Law programs are unique specializations in the field of law, which strive to serve the particular needs of countries in transition to democracy and market economy. Both programs are among the finest in Europe, enabling enthusiastic students to obtain a firm grounding in the fundamental concepts of either discipline, and, from there, to branch out into specific fields, such as the law of the European Union, intellectual property or comparative legislation and constitutional drafting, to name only a few. The flexibility of the programs allows for the introduction of special groundbreaking courses, taught by leading international experts, according to the needs of the international socio-legal community. The department's system of teaching, based on a network of professors from East and West, has generated interaction with leading schools of thought (Berkeley, Columbia, Oxford, Warsaw, etc.). Additionally, the department offers special courses in which the legal systems of emerging democracies around the world are compared, providing a rare opportunity for students interested in studying the legal framework in such countries. This unique combination of subjects enables a complex rule-of-law committed approach to new problems of the global economy.

Following upon its primary goal of providing top-quality advanced legal education, the CEU Legal Studies Department is devoted to fostering leaders in areas such as policy development and implementation, rights advocacy and litigation, the development of free market economies and economic integration, advanced legal education and research and the promotion of democratic legal systems, both in the international and the local arenas. Notwithstanding the department's very short history, its graduates have become expert consultants in the process of EU accession, policy makers in their national legal systems, leaders in education and leading lawyers in business and human rights law, both at home and internationally.

THE MASTER’S PROGRAMSThe 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.

33

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. In addition, graduates of the Human Rights Program may apply to the PhD program in Political Science, based on a special agreement between the two units.

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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

CEU-OSI Legal Institute/Human Rights Fellows Program The Legal Institute of the Open Society Institute joins with Central European University to announce the Human Rights Fellows Program. The aim of the program is to support and further develop a network of lawyers and activists working on human rights-related issues. The Human Rights Fellows Program is a two-year program of study and practical work experience. Ten applicants will be selected in 2003 to participate in the program. Applicants from the following regions and countries are eligible to participate in the program: Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Mongolia, West and Southern Africa, Indonesia/Southeast Asia, Turkey/Middle East, Haiti, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru.

Applicants to this program must follow the general CEU admissions requirements, found in the "Prospective Students" section of the Application for Admission, 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 program please consult the CEU website at http://www.ceu.hu/legal/legalpro.html.

Special Educational Projects: External Russian Law School (ERLAWS)ERLAWS aims to improve legal education in Russia and, towards this goal, educates Russian legal scholars who will assist in the reform of curricula and teaching methods once they have returned to their respective universities. For more information, please contact the Department Coordinator.

Entry Requirements for the Master's Programs

General Requirements Applicants to all three programs (Comparative Constitutional Law, International Business Law and Human Rights) must meet the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements). In addition to these general 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. 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 2003; 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

• Structure The 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

34

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 TOEFL 1; the Legal Reasoning Test, then the academic essay (or essays, if the candidate applies to more than one of the CEU Legal Studies programs) will be written.

Selection of candidates consists of three rounds: 1) preselection: formal eligibility to study in the desired program, based on review of each applicant's application package; 2) shortlisting: based on the results of admissions testing, including the tests on language proficiency, legal reasoning and academic essay writing; 3) rankingIn 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 academic 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.

Special Note: 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), candidates are responsible for organizing their own standardized tests (English language and legal reasoning) with an officially recognized testing service2 and submitting the test results by the required deadline3.

• TOEFL In addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants to the Legal Studies Department must obtain a minimum TOEFL score of 570 (CTOEFL 230). Please see the "Prospective Students" section of the Application for Admission for general language requirements.

• Legal Reasoning Test The 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 following website: http://www.lsac.org. - Candidates who received their law degree from an accredited US 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. CEU will accept an official copy of their LSAT score report for its admissions process. Such candidates should visit the mentioned site for more information on how to register for the LSAT. Additionally, such candidates should keep in mind that the LSAT is offered at limited locations around the world and at limited times throughout the year.

Candidates who have not taken the CEU Legal Reasoning Test or the LSAT may be considered for admission only under exceptional circumstances.

• Academic Essay The 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.

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

2 The Law School Admission Council, which produces the Law School Admission Test, is recognized by CEU as an official testing service for the legal reasoning test. Please read further for information on how to register to take this test. Please refer to the "Prospective Students" section of the Application for Admission for recognized English language testing services.

3 Please refer to the "Prospective Students" section of the Application for Admissions for the CEU admissions deadlines.

35

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

Example of one national report to the Human Rights Committee (Yugoslavia): http://www.unhchr.ch/tbs/doc.nsf/Master FrameView/

For candidates not residing in countries where a supervised CEU admission examination is offered, granted that the candidate is qualified for consideration, a computer-administered (email) examination will be offered. This email examination will take place worldwide on Saturday, March 1, 2003. In case of technical difficulties, additional dates may be set. Candidates should indicate on their application for admission whether they will have access to electronic mail on the day of the examination, and if so, include their email address (notifying the CEU Admissions Office of any future changes in the address). If candidates do not have access to electronic mail, the examination may be carried out by fax. If fax is also not a possibility, then candidates may apply for a special interview.

Master's Programs 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 further consists of two additional modules finishing at the end of December. The second (research) semester focuses on research and writing and consists of one module of instruction. The third semester, beginning in April and concluding in July, consists of two modules.

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.

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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry Requirements for the SJD ProgramCandidates possessing an LLM degree from CEU or another institution with a credit load and program similar to that of CEU, and candidates who received an MA degree, after their basic law degree, from CEU or from another institution with a credit load and program similar to that of CEU may also be considered for admission, provided that the MA was received in a field which is consanguine with the proposed SJD research. Students who have completed their Master's degree at CEU with a "B" average or higher and whose theses were graded "completed with honors" or higher are eligible for further SJD studies. Each applicant should submit a detailed research project (2000 words, including literature). Applicants to the SJD Program must also fulfill the general CEU admissions requirements found in Part V; General Admissions Requirements.

36

Doctoral Support Program for non-CEU Students Doctoral candidates who are enrolled in an officially recognized doctoral 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.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral Support ProgramApplicants to the Doctoral Support Program must fulfill the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements) and submit a detailed research project (2000 words, including literature).

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

This is a new program at CEU. Mathematics enjoys a long and rich tradition both for itself and for its vital role throughout society. Many aspects that existed for centuries as completely unapplicable are—to the surprise of many—now essential for life in today's world.

The program welcomes strong research in both "pure" and "applied" mathematics.

Jerry L. Kazdan

THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMThis program, which offers only the PhD, covers both mathematics and its applications. It is 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. Because this program is new, we suggest you see the web page http://www.ceu.hu/math/mathematics.html for current information.

The PhD program has two streams: one in Pure Mathematics, and another in Applications of Mathematics. Registration of the program is in progress with the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramThe Department of Mathematics and its Applications will admit approximately ten PhD students each year. Students from any country may apply. The courses are taught in English so passing the TOFEL examination is important (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements). In addition, students seeking admission must submit three letters of recommendation and will be required to prove their proficiency in mathematics and familiarity with fundamental mathematical disciplines; the procedure used depends on the home country; applicants are required to submit a 250-word summary of their mathematical and educational background, achievements and future goals.i). Applicants residing in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union must take a written examination in general mathematics. The basic questions are in analysis and algebra. There may also be additional questions from other parts of "undergraduate" mathematics. More details are on the web page: http://www.ceu.hu/math/mathematics/entr_exam.html. This CEU-administered examination will be held on March 1, 2003. ii). Candidates from outside the CEE/fSU region will be required to submit GRE scores by March 17, 2003.

Applicants are of course expected to have a degree of higher education with a strong mathematical background.

Financial AidAs of 2002/2003, CEU will accept doctoral students whose qualifications are expected to be of such caliber that they would be eligible to receive the full CEU fellowship. Under special circumstances, a student may be requested to pay full or partial tuition, or contribute toward living expenses if, for example, the student wishes to keep his or her employment.

Program Structure and Academic Requirements

PhD coursesThe standard courses are each one semester (12 weeks) and count for 3 credits. For the PhD a total of 72 credits is required. Customarily students take roughly 21 credits in basic courses their first year. The remaining credits, selected with approval by the student's advisor, may also include up to 24 credits for individual research. Most of the coursework component of the PhD program is designed for four semesters. Students with strong backgrounds may finish most of it in two or three

43

semesters. Note that it is possible to receive transfer credit for up to 24 credits of advanced ("post-graduate") mathematics courses taken at other universities.

Special ExaminationsBy the middle of the second year students are required to take an oral comprehensive examination in three topics, two of which are analysis and algebra. There are many possibilities for the third topic. Some example are Partial Differential Equations and Discrete Mathematics. This must be approved by the Head of the Department after discussion with the student's advisor.

After passing this comprehensive examination and earning at least a total of 32 credit units, students are required to take the oral candidacy examination on a pass/fail basis. The subject matter is decided by the student's advisor.

ThesisAfter passing the candidacy examination students start the formal research period. Nevertheless, they 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 close supervision, and to finish their coursework.

Doctoral Support Program for non-CEU StudentsOccasionally there is support available for full-time doctoral students who are currently enrolled at other recognized institutions of higher education. These students receive consultation and supervision from CEU and the institute's faculty. They can participate in the rich Hungarian mathematical life. There is no requirement to earn course credits; rather, participants are encouraged to work together with the program faculty. This is primarily intended for those students who are already working on their PhD thesis.

Course descriptionsStream I: Applications of MathematicsApplications 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 PhD 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 forecasting, or recent, such as the 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 forecasting" would appeal to the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy, while "the Black-Scholes model for pricing stocks" would 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 PhD Program. The level is that of the last year of undergraduate studies. These courses can be either integrated in the curriculum or be covered during a two-week intensive "summer school," to be held just before the beginning of each academic year.

Functional AnalysisIntroduction to Linear Partial Differential EquationsIntroduction to Numerical Linear Algebra

2. "Basic" courses (3 credit courses). Each student takes at least four "basic" courses. Level: First year-graduate studies.

Linear and Nonlinear Elliptic EquationsMathematical Modeling in Continuum MechanicsMathematical Methods in Fluid Mechanics–Hyperbolic Systems and Conservation LawsIntroduction to Numerical Methods for Linear Partial Differential EquationsNumerical Methods for Elliptic EquationsAdvanced Finite Element Methods for Elliptic EquationsNumerical Methods for Fluid Mechanics and Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws Optimization Theory

3. "Specialized" courses (3 credit courses). Each student takes at least four "specialized" courses. Level: Second year-graduate studies.

Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Calculus of VariationsHomogenization Theory

Differential Geometry and ApplicationsMathematical Methods in Three-dimensional ElasticityMathematical Methods in Plastic TheoryMathematical Methods in FinanceMathematical Methods in MeteorologyDynamical Systems and Optimal Control

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.

There is a growing interest currently in study and research opportunities of a comparative nature, where both plurality and synthesis are emphasized. Students are searching for study centers where a view of the past is presented which is able to overcome partisan views and myths of national histories. The enormous losses of the region's cultural and historical heritage (both material and spiritual as well as ethical and political) over the last 100 years have necessitated a totally new approach towards the interpretation and preservation of these values (both in their concrete material form and in the form of traditions and identities).

The department emphasizes and concentrates on the "plurality" of medieval civilization, which was characterized by the interaction of Latin, Orthodox and Oriental Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This included both confrontation and mutual borrowing; the study of these may help to handle problems which are "multicultural" in character in the present as well.

Jozsef Laszlovszky

THE MASTER’S 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 huge 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 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.

The program is registered to grant the Master of Arts degree in Medieval Studies by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramStudents seeking admission to the Medieval Studies Department's MA program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General 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.

47

Master's 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 survival 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 with guidance with both individual and group research as well as the discussion of their findings. Members of the faculty offer guidance, assistance and supervision for the students' own creative work and information covering 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. 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 DOCTORAL 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.

The program is registered to grant the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Medieval Studies by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramThe 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.

Doctoral Support Program for non-CEU StudentsThe Doctoral Support Program is open to graduate students registered in a doctoral 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.

Maria Kovacs, Program DirectorSzabolcs Pogonyi, Program Coordinator

Degrees offered: Master of Arts in Nationalism Studies (MA)PhD specialization in Nationalism Studies available under the PhD in Comparative History of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe

Average length of study: MA: ten months;PhD: 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

We encourage you to apply to our program if you wish to engage in an empirical and theoretical study of nationalism, self-determination, ethnic conflict, xenophobia, minority protection and the related theme of globalization. We offer a comprehensive introduction to the main approaches to the study of nationalism involving the disciplines of history, sociology, anthropology, legal studies, political science and political theory.

As you know, very few universities in international higher education provide this kind of specialization on both the MA and PhD level. Our distinctive focus, intellectually exciting teaching profile and interdisciplinary approach have been developed by eminent experts in the field, including Rogers Brubaker, Will Kymlicka, Yael Tamir, Tibor Varady, Michael Stewart and Erica Benner. We are proud to have them among our faculty. Our common focus is to explore how liberal norms and models of dealing with ethnocultural diversity can be adapted in Central and Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. Our approach is widely comparative. This helps us to avoid the dangers of parochialism, auto-celebratory tendencies and epistemological insiderism and to provide an open, critical, non-sectarian and cosmopolitan perspective on the study of nationalism. Please consult our webpage for further details on our courses.

As a student in our program you will benefit from the resources of our excellent faculty and high-quality student body and from the uniquely lively atmosphere of Budapest, at the heart of Central Europe.

THE MASTER’S PROGRAMThe Nationalism Studies Program was established at Central European University by the late Ernst Gellner 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 aim of the program is to engage students in an empirical and theoretical study of issues of nationalism, self-determination, problems of state-formation, ethnic conflict, minority protection and the related theme of globalization. Drawing upon the uniquely supranational milieu of Central European University, it encourages a critical and non-sectarian study of nationalism. 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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Ferenc Huoranszki, Head of DepartmentKriszta Biber, Department Coordinator

Degrees offered: Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy (PhD)Average length of study: three yearsGraduation requirements: 28 course credits in the first year, extended essay comprehensive examination;

dissertation specific courses; dissertation and its defense.

Philosophy, as I see it, has two faces. While it is an essentially problem-solving enterprise it is also an important part of intellectual history. Therefore we have designed a program that aims to combine analytic and historical approaches to philosophy. The historical part includes Greek and Medieval philosophy as well as the history of 17th and 18th century rationalism and empiricism. Analytic philosophy was—or at least was regarded as—inimical to such classical philosophical disciplines as metaphysics, ethics or the philosophy of religion. In addition to philosophy of language and epistemology I find it especially important, however, to put great emphasis on these classical topics as well as on the recently more fashionable areas of philosophy of mind, and social and political philosophy. My conviction is that in philosophy no problem is illegitimate to raise and investigate as far as reasonable and comprehensive arguments can be put forward to discuss them.

Ferenc Huoranszki

THE DOCTORAL 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 including the possibility of specialization in ancient philosophy. 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.

The PhD program in Philosophy is registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

Entry requirements for the Doctoral ProgramCandidates 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 in the first year, over and above the standard requirements of seven courses.

Applicants to the program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements) and submit an essay of 1500-2500 words on an appropriate philosophical topic.

Doctoral 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.

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 by coursework, four credits by an extended essay 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.

Nenad Dimitrijevic

THE DEPARTMENTThe 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) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.

The Department of Political Science provides a comprehensive program of instruction and research in the fundamental areas of the discipline: political institutions and processes; the origins, development and transformation of theory and concepts; understanding different approaches to political analysis; political philosophy; social theory; political economy; public policy; political and economic sociology; constitutionalism and the legal contexts necessary for understanding politics and debates about it.

The cognitive skills the department seeks to impart include the employment of different methods of analysis and critical thinking. Use of these will enable students to deepen and broaden their knowledge of politics and to articulate their own ethical stance on issues studied.

The department strives to develop and nurture a scholarly community of faculty and students who engage in a common process of education and research, with emphasis on understanding the problems and challenges contemporary political communities and their citizens face.

THE MASTER’S PROGRAMThe Master's program offers a standard curriculum in political theory and methods. Against this background the program focuses on the politics and political economy of the post-communist transition within a comparative and international perspective.

The Master's 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. In addition, it trains those who plan to become policy-makers or expert civil servants in their countries.The program builds its arguments on the methods of economics, philosophy, jurisprudence, history and sociology and weaves them into the truly interdisciplinary fabric of politics. Second, the program combines US standards in research and teaching with the particular requirements of an international student body actively recruited from the entire post-communist region (although not exclusively limited to it). Students have the opportunity to both reach a better understanding of the major issues in the politics of the region and to build upon their own experiences. Most of the department's faculty is resident at CEU; therefore faculty is available to students throughout the year, so that students can build strong and fruitful working relationships. Graduate education at the Department of Political Science makes wide uses of the current research on the politics of new democracies and of sociopolitical transition. From the first year of its existence, the department has organized large-scale research on selected topics related to the transition from communism to democracy and the market. It has developed research excellence in:

56

- The study of democratization through the lenses of multiple subdisciplines- Social theory - Comparative politics, especially party systems and voting behavior- Political economy and economic sociology of transformation and internationalization- Social movements and NGOs in post-communist transformation- Overcoming the legacies of authoritarianism in the political culture of the post-communist countries - Minority rights in the context of universal human rights

Entry Requirements for the Master's ProgramStudents seeking admission to the Political Science Department's MA program must meet the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General 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).

Master's Program StructureThe Master's 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.

Degree RequirementsCourses generally earn 4 credits; students are required to earn 32 credits over the two semesters. The non-credit Academic Writing course is mandatory for all students.

Some of the courses offered have the status of core courses. They cover the analytical and empirical foundations of the Master's program. The core courses are organized in four groups. At least 16 out of 32 credits should be earned by attending and completing core courses, one in each of four fields: statistics, micro- and macroeconomics, comparative politics and social and political theory. Within this constraint, each student decides for herself/ himself how many core courses to take within one semester.

THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMThe doctoral program in Political Science 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 and other areas of the world. The PhD program is primarily oriented towards academia. In order to improve the quality of the doctoral study, the department has been making strong efforts to integrate its PhD students into ongoing departmental research projects, as well as to link them to the best possible researchers in their specific fields, and to expose them at a very early stage of their dissertation writing to an international scholarly environment. As part of these efforts, the department has established cooperation with the Society of Comparative Research, with the specific aim of organizing a PhD student retreat. This retreat allows some of the best students to present their "ideas in the making" before an audience consisting of PhD students from some of the leading US universities and their supervisors, outstanding scholars in the field of comparative social studies.In the first year, the PhD Program in Political Science will offer courses organized in four tracks: - Social and Political Theory- Comparative Politics- Political Economy/ Public Policy- International Relations

Entry Requirements for the Doctoral ProgramApplicants to the doctoral 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 doctoral program: a) students from the department's MA program with a 3.3 grade point average or higher and a strong thesis; b) 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);c) 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

57

general exam in these subjects before submitting their dissertation. Applicants must present evidence of good TOEFL results (a minimum score of 250/600 is required).

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

Doctoral Program StructureIn the first year of the doctoral program students are referred to as probationary doctoral candidates. Probationary doctoral candidates must earn 32 credits during the first year by attending courses at the Department of Political Science. Specialization in a major and a minor field of study (track) is required. From the total of 32 credits, students must earn 16 credits in the field of their major, and 8 credits in their minor field. The remainder can be taken from the department's PhD courses or other departments' doctoral programs in agreement with the advisor.

The first year starts with personal consultations between the probationary doctoral candidates and the Director of the Doctoral Program. Students are assigned a temporary supervisor with whom they must discuss their study plan for the first year and whom they must consult while preparing their dissertation proposal (prospectus) for the comprehensive examination. By the end of the second semester of the first year probationary doctoral candidates are required to present the prospectus of their doctoral dissertation indicating the topic and presenting an outline of the concept. A detailed research plan, a bibliography, a short description of the resources needed to conduct the research and the names of research persons other than the supervisors with whom the student might consult must be included.The first year of doctoral studies is ended by a comprehensive examination. Those who pass the comprehensive examination successfully have the right to submit and defend their dissertation 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.The doctoral dissertation is an academic dissertation of 150-250 pages, which meets the general standards of the university and follows the style sheet issued by the Department of Political Science. It can be submitted for evaluation and defense no later than five years after the doctoral student passed the comprehensive exam.

Shalini Randeria, Head of Department t.b.a, Program Coordinator

Effective with the academic year 2003/2004, CEU's Department of Sociology will relocate from Warsaw to Budapest1 and will be expanded especially in the direction of an integrated department of sociology and social anthropology. This move will allow the department's students and faculty to integrate fully into the vibrant academic life of the Budapest campus, to benefit from the presence here of the other academic units and research centers, as well as the university's excellent facilities (library, dormitory, etc.). CEU is a graduate research university dedicated mainly to social sciences and humanities and the presence of a Sociology Department on the Budapest campus is an essential component in order to ensure high quality interdisciplinary teaching and research in these areas.

The arrangements for the relocation are currently being finalized. Full details regarding the new CEU Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology (degrees offered, curriculum, admissions requirements, financial aid, faculty, etc.) will be available on CEU's web site (www.ceu.hu) after 1 October 2002.

Programs offered, admissions requirements, curriculum and facultyThe establishment of the new department is coordinated by Shalini Randeria (Professor, Head of the Department) with the help of an advisory committee consisting of Yehuda Elkana (CEU President and Rector), Bela Greskovits (Professor, former Head of the CEU Department of International Relations and European Studies), Sally Humphreys (CEU University Professor, former Professor at University of Michigan, Department of History), Janos Kis (CEU University Professor, former Head of the CEU Department of Political Science), Andrzej Rychard (Professor, Head of the CEU Department of Sociology–Warsaw), and Ivan Szelenyi (Yale University, Head of Department of Sociology).

The department will offer degree programs in Sociology and Social Anthropology at the Master's and the doctoral level starting on 1 October 2003. As for all other degree programs of CEU, the new Sociology degrees will be submitted for registration to the Board of Regents of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department. The curriculum for these new programs is currently being finalized. It will involve a broad comparative approach integrating Sociology and Social Anthropology, with a strong emphasis on social theory linked to quantitative as well as qualitative empirical research.

The admissions requirements are in line with the general CEU admissions requirements (see Part V; General Admissions Requirements).

1 From 1995 until the end of the academic year 2002-2003, the CEU Sociology Department was located in Warsaw at the Center for Social Studies (CSS) of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The CEU programs in Sociology were delivered in cooperation with the CSS. After the CEU Sociology Department relocates to Budapest, the CSS plans to continue to offer programs in Warsaw—without any CEU financial or academic involvement—leading to the British MA degree awarded by Lancaster University, and a PhD program leading to the award of the doctorate of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Additional information about the CSS's plans can be obtained at css@css.edu.pl.

Ferenc Partos

Brief HistoryEstablished in 1988, the IMC Graduate School of Business (its former name) was the first educational institution in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) to offer a Western graduate business program leading to an MBA degree from prestigious business schools in Western Europe and North America. Between 1988 and 1995 the IMC offered the first year of a residential MBA program in Budapest while the second year was taken at leading North American (e.g., Pittsburgh, Tulane, Emory, Vanderbilt and York) or West European (e.g., Manchester in the United Kingdom and Nijenrode in Holland) business schools. During this period the MBA degree was granted jointly by the IMC and its foreign partners.

Between 1996 and 2002 the IMC had an exclusive joint MBA-degree-granting relationship with the Weatherhead School of Management of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. This MBA degree program was accredited by AACSB. In 2002, after the Boards of Trustees of both CEU and the IMC had approved an agreement by which the IMC became a professional school of CEU, the New York State Education Department licensed the university to confer its own US MBA degree.

THE SCHOOLCurrently the school offers two graduate business programs, leading to a regular US MBA and to a US-European Executive MBA degree, respectively. The regular MBA is an adapted version of the degree program the school has been offering since 1996. The Executive MBA is one of the world's top-ranked consortium programs, which the school has been invited to join as a partner. In 2002 the school linked up with a leading US business school (Purdue) and two prestigious West European business schools (Tilburg University in the Netherlands and ESCP-EAP in Paris) to offer a joint Executive MBA, called the International Master's in Management (IMM) degree program. The MBA and the IMM programs are described separately.Plans to launch a third US degree program, a Master of Science (MSc) in Information Technology Management, are being finalized. If approved by the university Senate and by the authorities of the New York State Education Department, the one-year, 30-credit program will commence in early 2003.

THE MBA PROGRAM For full-time students, the Master of Business Administration is a four-semester, 60-credit degree program, which is a worldwide standard for MBA programs. Classes are offered in each of the fall, spring and summer semesters. Thus, a full-time student entering in September may complete the program by December of the following year (16 months, or four

62

semesters). All students are required to complete all degree requirements within six academic years following matriculation into the program.

The MBA program has a functional core of 10 courses totaling 31 credits, which is required to be taken by all students (during the first two semesters for full-time students). A distinctive aspect of the program is that modules on business ethics are integrated into the required as well as the elective courses. The core program forms a solid foundation for specialization during the second year and for management decision-making throughout the student's career.

AccreditationThe authorization to confer the US MBA degree has been granted to CEU by the New York State Education Department. MBA Program Structure

Exchange ProgramsThe school has a number of exchange programs with prestigious schools in Western Europe (e.g., Freiberg in Germany, Copenhagen Business School in Denmark, Birmingham in the United Kingdom) and in North America (e.g., Case Western in the US and York University in Canada) where students may spend a semester without paying extra tuition. In addition to the valuable experiences such exchanges provide, study abroad enlarges the number of available electives, concentrations and majors.

Entry Requirements for the MBA ProgramAdmission to the MBA program is open to all qualified applicants. Candidates for the MBA program are required to complete an Admissions Application, available from the Graduate School of Business, provide two letters of recommendation, official transcripts of grades from recognized undergraduate educational institutions, a GMAT score (minimum 500) and—for candidates whose native language is not English—a TOEFL score (minimum 213), and a resume. For an online application form candidates should visit the school's website on http://www.imc.hu.

Graduation Requirements A total of 60 credits of study. Students take 31 credits of core classes and 29 electives and select a concentration or two majors. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. is required.

Tuition, Scholarships and Financial AidThe CEU business school tuition fee is set independently of those of the other CEU degree programs. Tuition for the 60-credit, four-semester MBA program is 15,000 USD. The tuition fee is due each semester, approximately three weeks after the commencement of classes. Part-time students are invoiced on the basis of credits taken each semester (250 USD per credit hour).

MBA applicants may be eligible to participate in a loan scheme sponsored by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) through the ABN AMRO Bank. In addition, various scholarships and research assistantships are available for qualified candidates to help finance their education. For information, candidates must turn directly to the business school. All scholarship and research assistantship offers are made at the time of the official admissions offer.

THE IMM (EXECUTIVE MBA) PROGRAMThe IMM program is an integrated degree-granting program of advanced study in management for experienced professionals who seek to obtain a Master's degree in management while maintaining their full-time employment. The program is a collaborative effort of four business schools: Krannert School of Management, Purdue University (US); Tias Business School, Tilburg University (Netherlands); ESCP-EAP European School of Management (Paris, France) and CEU Graduate School of Business (Hungary).

The program focuses on the educational needs of working professionals in management positions who want to enhance the decision-making and problem-solving skills critical to career advancement. IMM offers an innovative alternative to the traditional part-time Executive MBA and to the usual "transplant" American MBA in Europe, both in its educational delivery system and in the international character of its student body, faculty, and residential sessions.

Those who complete the IMM Program have the option of obtaining two degrees simultaneously: an MBA from Purdue University plus the choice of an MBA from Tilburg, from CEU, or from ESCP-EAP.AccreditationThe IMM is fully accredited by AACSB International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business—which is the US-based accrediting body for both undergraduate and graduate management programs.

Program ObjectivesThe IMM program equips managers to handle increasingly complex organizations, accelerated technological change, and the demanding business environment of tomorrow. It is designed to strengthen a corporation's managerial resources and enhance its organizational effectiveness. The constituent courses have a decision-making focus, and include both theoretical and applicative elements. Built upon the basics of economics, quantitative methods, information technology, and the behavioral sciences, the program extends the participants' understanding of the latest business concepts and techniques. It is a truly international program, providing real and immediately applicable international experience.

Program StructureThe IMM program is divided into three 26-week instructional modules spanning approximately two years. During the initial five-day orientation session at Purdue, the entering class is introduced to the program courses, the faculty, the curriculum, the business software application used and the Internet-based communications and information retrieval system which is used to interact with the faculty and other participants. The subsequent instructional sessions are concentrated into six two-week residencies every three months. The residencies rotate among the campuses of the four collaborating institutions.

CurriculumThe topic content of the various courses is similar to that of the corresponding courses in the partner schools' existing graduate management programs, but the IMM courses are less technique-oriented and have a more policy-oriented and decision-making character. All instruction in the program is in English. The following courses comprise the curriculum of the three modules of the program:

Module IMicroeconomicsMacroeconomicsQuantitative MethodsOrganizational BehaviorAccounting for Managers

Module IIInternational EconomicsManagement of Information TechnologyFinancial ManagementMarketing ManagementOperations Management

Module IIIStrategic ManagementLegal Environment of BusinessInternational FinanceE-Business ApplicationsManaging the Global Enterprise

The above classes are taught by the senior faculty of the four collaborating business schools and by selected faculty from other universities in Europe and North America. All are accomplished instructors who have taught extensively in executive

64

education programs, have substantial research and publication records, and have experience as consultants to firms and government agencies.

Entry Requirements for the IMM ProgramApplicants to the IMM program are individuals who have a record of work experience in positions of increasing responsibility and who have demonstrated the potential for continued growth within their organizations. The typical applicant has at least five years of professional experience and has earned a baccalaureate or equivalent 'first' degree. Admissions criteria are consistent with AACSB, Purdue Graduate School, Tias Business School, CEU Business School, and ESCP-EAP postgraduate studies requirements:

]Satisfactory performance on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). See also www.gmat.org. A grade-point average of B or better in a completed baccalaureate or comparable degree program. For natives of non-English-speaking countries, successful performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). See also http://www.toefl.org

The Center for Policy Studies (CPS) is a recently created academic unit within Central European University. CPS is dedicated to the identification, analysis, and dissemination of policy issues with a special but not exclusive focus on the region of Central and Eastern Europe. As an academic unit, CPS has a commitment to conducting research itself and to encouraging, coordinating and facilitating research within other parts of CEU. It serves as a fulcrum between academic research and the policy implications of that research; it also serves as a fulcrum between the academic environment and the activist and policy-generating activities of governments and non-governmental bodies, national, regional, and global. The Open Society Institute with its many different activities and programs is a natural external partner for CPS and one with whom various joint activities are developed.

The International Policy Fellowships program of the Open Society Institute is affiliated with CPS.

Viktor Bohm, Director

CEU 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 social sciences and some humanities, and even in 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 50 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. In the coming year, three topics will be in the focus of research: "Universalism and Localism in Human Rights"; "New Ideas in Economics"; and "Accountability of Cunning States and Civil Society."

OPEN SOCIETY ARCHIVES AT CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY

Oktober 6. u. 12, 1051 BudapestTel: (36-1) 327-3250Fax: (36-1) 327-3260Email: archives@ceu.huWebsite: http://www.osa.ceu.hu/

Istvan Rev, Academic Director

The Open Society Archives at Central European University was established in 1995. The Archives 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 records of the International Helsinki Federation on Human Rights, the records of the Index on Censorship, and documentation of the Balkan mass-grave exhumation project of Physicians for Human Rights.The Archives holds a significant amount of audio-visual material, the most important of which are the film collection of the Hungarian Workers' Militia, interviews about the atomic catastrophe in Chernobyl, the film collection about the 1956 revolution, the largest collection of amateur films in Central Europe, a comprehensive comparative video collection prepared from Yugoslavia's TV newsreels recorded in the 1990s, 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. Publications of note include the Wiener Library—293 microfilms of clippings and other types of records from the 1930s to 1960s documenting the history of the Nazi movement in Germany, and the history of European Jews; the Polish Independent Publications, 1976 (Polish samizdat) and the Prague Spring 1968 collection.

OSA is an open access facility: virtually anyone can use the archives. Reference services are provided both on-site in the Research Room (adjacent to CEU Library's lower level Reading Room), and off-site, via the Internet, telephone, fax, email and regular mail.

In addition to its various grants offered to researchers, individuals and institutions, the Open Society Archives (OSA) launches a new project for CEU students aiming to enrich its Reference Information Papers (RIP) series. The RIP are thematic finding aids meant to guide researchers to all the relevant archival materials at OSA that relate to a certain topic.

OUTREACH: PROGRAMS FOR ROFESSORS AND PROFESSIONALS

Special and Extension ProgramsSpecial and Extension Programs (SEP) comprises three units: the Special Projects Office (SPO); the 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 makes available 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

69

national Soros foundation). In addition, SEP is now working with other emerging democracies as a part of CEU's globalization.

SEP provides 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 programs described here all belong to the transregional aspect of SEP's work. For further information on other projects, please visit the SEP website (http://www.ceu.hu/sep). All of the following are available on a full scholarship basis. For details on eligibility for scholarships visit the web pages shown or contact the program by email at sep@ceu.hu.

Special Projects OfficeSpecial Projects Office (SPO) runs transregional programs, but mainly focuses on microregional and country specific projects. Due to the diversity, only a few such programs are outlined below simply as examples (more details on the programs, eligibility, etc., are available from the website at http://www.ceu.hu/sep or by email at sep@ceu.hu, as well as from the national Soros foundations):

Senior and Junior Fellowship ProgramCEU offers one- to six-month research fellowships for regional scholars. These are post-doctoral fellowships designed to give scholars the opportunity to research and write at CEU in cooperation with a relevant academic department.

Hosting a CEU LecturerThis program enables institutions of higher education in the region to receive CEU professors for short lecture visits (up to seven days). The purpose is to create or strengthen ties between CEU and the host institution, to respond to specific regional needs in terms of academic expertise and to allow both academics and students to experience CEU's approach to teaching.Summer University

The Summer University (SUN) is an academic program for university teachers, administrators and professionals held every July and August at CEU in Budapest. It offers a series of intensive two- and three- week courses in social sciences and humanities to encourage and promote regional academic cooperation and curriculum development by bringing together young faculty in lectures, seminars and workshops. For more information see the SUN website at http://www.ceu.hu/ sun/sunindx.html or contact summeru@ceu.hu.

Curriculum Resource Center

The Curriculum Resource Center (CRC) is CEU's outreach program for social sciences and humanities teaching in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. With an emphasis on curriculum development, teaching and dissemination of academic resources to higher educational institutions in the region, CRC facilitates academic exchange, course development and curriculum reform activities. CRC offerings include the following:

CRC WorkshopsCRC workshops are discipline-specific week-long workshops held throughout the academic year for teachers in higher education. An online service and syllabi collection are also available at http://www.ceu.hu/crc/.

Course Development CompetitionThe Course Development Competition is an annual competition to fund university teachers in specific subject areas to prepare and teach a new course. A ten-month stipend, money for teaching aids, etc., is provided to successful applicants.

For more information see the CRC website at http://www.ceu.hu/crc/ or contact crc@ceu.hu.

FACILITIES

Central European University's teaching site and a residence and conference center are located in Budapest, Hungary. 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 its function as the economic and cultural crossroads of Europe. Consequently 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 City Home to 1.8 million people, Budapest is the vibrant center of Hungary. The capital city combines the elegance of nineteenth century Habsburg era buildings with its own blend of Art Nouveau architecture and the understated appeal of the Bauhaus style.

The broad stretch of the Danube here separates Buda from Pest. Buda being the older part contains most of the medieval remains and Roman sites, as well as many of the city's famed thermal baths and numerous cultural attractions and monuments.

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. The city also plays host to several noted annual concert series and events. 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. Among the many museums are the Museum of Fine Arts, the Exhibition Hall (Mucsarnok), the National Museum and the Museum of Applied Arts; there is also a quickly growing small gallery art scene, popular with both locals and visitors. Sporting enthusiasts too will find numerous opportunities to watch or engage in European football, basketball and other competitive athletics. Budapest and its environs also offer many pleasant areas for cycling, running, roller-blading or hiking.

The city boasts an active night life: modern cinemas as well as some lovingly restored period film theatres, cafes, pubs, discos and rock clubs where students can enjoy their free evenings. Several English-language publications advertise a variety of cultural and entertainment events, not just in Budapest but also around the country.

Teaching FacilitiesCEU's educational site is located in the heart of the capital (the residence and conference center is half an hour away by public transport). The main downtown buildings consist of two period structures and a modern tower as well as several courtyards and passages linking these and other buildings. Of particular historical note is a listed monument, a palace built for the Festetics family, designed by one of the most famous architects of Central and Eastern Europe, Mihaly Pollack. For its careful renovation of the building, CEU received the "Urban Rehabilitation of 1995" award from the Architects' Association. The modern, ten-story adjoining faculty tower was constructed behind the palace and now houses many of the university's faculty offices and classrooms. At its lower levels the tower is also the location for the library and the university auditorium, an amphitheater-style lecture hall. There are further buildings in the university block including the one in Oktober 6 utca and another one in Nador utca housing the gym and recreation facilities. Computer Services

Five computer laboratories on the main campus and one at the CEU Residence and Conference Center (CEU dormitory), with more than 200 PCs are available for student use. The dormitory rooms are all equipped with individual PCs connected to the CEU computer network. Doctoral students have access to study rooms specially designated for their use by their respective departments.

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 etc.), 60 CD-ROM databases, online databases (WestLaw, EBSCO, etc.) and other specialized software packages are available.

Language Teaching CenterOne of the fundamental skills required for a graduate degree is the ability to communicate ideas clearly and accurately in writing, in a way that meets the expectations of the academic community. The mission of the Language Teaching Center (LTC) is to ensure that students are able to achieve these goals by equipping them with the necessary communicative, organizational and critical skills in English language to enable them to complete academic writing tasks necessary both for graduate level work at CEU, and in any professional or academic English-speaking environment beyond CEU. As well as offering an academic writing course in the Pre-Session period, the LTC runs open workshops during the year on issues such

71

as thesis planning, presentation skills and research reading techniques. In addition to these, students are offered individual support with their writing through one-to-one consultations in the course of the year. CEU students have generally found these to be a valuable aid not just for improving assignments, but also for the purposes of becoming better and more confident writers. The LTC has also developed extensive web resources on various aspects of academic writing, which are available to the entire CEU community and to alumni.

Beyond services as a writing center, the LTC also offers survival Hungarian courses during the Pre-Session period and the semesters. For those who wish to maintain or improve their knowledge of French and German, courses are also available for a moderate fee.

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

Library ResourcesThe CEU 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.

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 at http://www.library.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

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.

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 10th 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 refrigerator; a TV room; and a laundry room. Bed linen is provided, but not towels and toiletries. Cooking or keeping food in the rooms is not permitted. 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

72

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 a dormitory stipend package from CEU are automatically enrolled in the CEU Meal Plan. They can use their ID cards to purchase meals at three locations: the dormitory cafeteria, the main CEU cafeteria on the ground floor of Nador u. 9, and the Tower Restaurant on the l0th floor of Faculty Tower. The catering program is not limited to menus but provides the option to choose individual meals. Because of the different taxes on drinks, chocolates, packaged candy and other similar products, these have to be purchased in cash. Students can monitor their meal token status on their Infosys Student Interface. The Meal Plan is also available for out-of-dormitory students.

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

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, some of whom are CEU graduates, work directly with the students. The Student Advising Center is located in the first floor of Faculty Tower.

The Vice President for Student Services (VPSS) is responsible for student recruitment and admissions, student-related 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).

For a complete listing of Department of Student Services staff and contact information, visit the section on "Student Services and Alumni" at http://www.ceu.hu.

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 and Residential Life OfficeThe Financial Aid and 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, and residency documents. The office organizes

73

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 and issues transcripts, certificates and CEU diplomas. 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.

University Information System 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 academic or professional careers after CEU. An Educational Advisor and a Career Advisor meet with students for individual consultations or in groups, organize various 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 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, individual relations with previous CEU student host institutions. All application forms are available at the Student Advising Center. Advising Center Publications are available at http://www.ceu.hu/misc/aducadvice/Publications.html.

Alumni Affairs OfficeThe Alumni Affairs Office 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 available opportunities, and experiences encountered after graduation from the university.

The Alumni Affairs Office facilitates alumni access to a range of services either free of charge or at reduced rates. All graduates of the university automatically become 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 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. CEU organizes a three-week comprehensive orientation to all university services for them, including the full range of logistical arrangements accompanying their relocation to Hungary. The Pre-Session is mandatory for all new students.

Pre-Session begins with an orientation to legal residence in Hungary, distribution of ID cards and orientation to 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 dedicated to training on the University Information System, use of library databases and use of all CEU computing resources. In the third week, students are introduced to the range of available advising and counseling services, as well as 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.

74

Throughout the Pre-Session, the Language Teaching Center (LTC) conducts an academic writing course the purpose of which 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 their selection of courses.

Health Insurance Services CEU provides medical insurance through a contract with a major international insurance company. This insurance is available to those full-time students who do not hold a valid Hungarian Health Insurance card. Effective January 1, 1997, this category includes all non-Hungarian students. Other members of the CEU community may be eligible for this plan pending the approval of the Executive Vice-President. Details on the CEU Medical Insurance Plan are available on the CEU website at http://www.ceu.hu/selected_policies.html.

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

Three doctors hold office hours at the CEU Medical Center 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 Medical Insurance Plan or on a private basis. Furthermore, the university maintains a cooperative arrangement with the Transplantation Clinic, one of the best medical facilities in Hungary, and with a medical practice in the vicinity of the teaching site. Students covered through the university’s CEU Medical Insurance Plan have full access to both clinics' services free of charge.

Student 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 extracurricular activities throughout the academic year. Most of these initiatives are based on student interests and specific requests. The Office of Residential Life and Financial Aid provides logistical and/or financial support.

Normally, at the beginning of the academic year, a survey is made among students to evaluate 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 often displays student work such as photographs, posters and other artwork. 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 and Residential Life Office.

For students resident in the Kerepesi Dormitory, CEU supports a system of electing Residence Advisors (RAs) for each floor. The 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 year's students may be interested in other topics. The Residential Life Officer welcomes student ideas and suggestions and works with students to enhance the CEU living environment.

Sports ActivitiesFor students interested in sports, CEU provides the facilities of two sports centers: one located in the main complex, in the 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 weightlifting, a work-out room, badminton, basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, table tennis and a sauna. The CEU Residence and Conference Center offers exercise rooms, a sports field, a basketball court, a swimming pool and a sauna. 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.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.

c) Applicants who do not reach the minimum entrance requirements for English Language Proficiency may be offered admission only in exceptional cases as determined by the department head in consultation with the Academic Pro-Rector.

English Language and Other Admissions Tests Organized by CEUIn the process of applying to CEU, students from CEE/fSU and other countries where Soros foundations operate1 may request to take the institutional TOEFL administered annually by CEU. Candidates based in these countries may sit for English language proficiency examinations provided through the Soros foundations network. This examination will be in the form of an institutional paper-based TOEFL. CEU will administer department-specific admissions examinations following the same procedure and on the same day as the institutional TOEFL.

Applicants required to take the standard tests indicated under "Language Requirements" and—in some cases—under the department's entry requirements. These may include GRE, LSAT and other standard tests offered throughout the world. Scores must be submitted along with the application documents, or by February 14, 2003, for Economics, and by March 10, 2003, for all other departments. These students may be offered admission on a conditional basis. 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. Such applicants may also 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.Special Note: All applicants who are taking the language and admissions tests organized by CEU on March 1, 2003, will also be required to write a 45-minute essay under examination conditions. This essay is not graded for admission purposes, but individual departments may choose to take an applicant's essay into consideration as a sample of writing ability when deciding whether or not to offer a place. For all students who are accepted to CEU, the essay will be used to assess their need for further writing support provided by the Language Teaching Center, which may take the form of courses during the Pre-Session and/or individual tuition during the semester.

Additional RequirementsDepartments may establish additional requirements for admission as deemed necessary. Please see the relevant department section of this Admissions Bulletin for details.

Note on Late ApplicationsCEU will consider all applications received by the deadline or postmarked by (including) January 6, 2003.

PART VIIFINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid EligibilityFinancial Aid Policy and ProceduresForms of Financial Aid

FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY

Central European University continues to focus on individuals and organizations in the CEE/fSU region while extending the CEU Fellowship Program worldwide. Continued priority concerning the awarding of financial aid is 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 financial aid package (full or partial) to study at CEU, except in the event of vertical movement along a course of study, e.g., Master's to doctoral. 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.

Financial aid is awarded for the immediately following academic year only. The award is valid for one year and is 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 during the first year, and in accordance with the institutional financial aid allocation guidelines. CEU reserves the right to alter the terms of the financial aid award and eligibility requirements at any time.

Special Note: While job possibilities do exist, CEU does not guarantee any work for the enrolled students either on-campus or off-campus.

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 students interested in obtaining other loans.

FINANCIAL AID POLICY AND PROCEDURES

In the 2003/2004 academic year, CEU will award tuition waivers and student living support packages in the form of a: 1) full CEU fellowship, or 2) partial financial aid.

Master’s StudentsCEU accepts new Master's students on full or partial financial aid. Students are required to indicate up to two pre-determined financial aid packages they wish to be considered for from the beginning, and to rank them in order of preference. The choices of financial aid packages are listed under Forms of Financial Aid.

83

Full or partial financial aid is awarded on the basis of department academic merit ranking and the applicant's selection of up to two financial aid packages, ranked in order of preference. Financial aid choices are disclosed to the departments at the time when their merit lists are complete. The number of applicants eligible for admission is normally higher than the number of students to whom CEU can offer financial support. Depending on their place in the ranking list, students may be offered admission according to their first choice of financial aid or placed on the waiting list for it. If a student is on the waiting list for his/her first choice, he/she may be offered admission according to his/her second choice, while remaining on the waiting list for the first. It is possible that a student may remain on the waiting lists for both choices of financial aid. In this case the person will be notified accordingly and may be offered admission with another partial financial aid package.

University funds are insufficient to award substantial financial aid to all worthy applicants. Financial aid at CEU is distributed on a highly competitive basis, especially fellowship and full tuition waiver awards. In the face of this tough competition for funding, each student is urged to make a responsible assessment of his or her financial need before requesting financial aid, or to seek support from other sources such as foundation grants, individual and employment sponsors. Decisions on financial aid are announced together with the offer of acceptance to CEU. Financial aid offers are not negotiable after the submission of the signed Enrollment Confirmation Form.

Doctoral StudentsCEU accepts doctoral students whose qualifications are expected to be of such caliber that they would be eligible to receive the full CEU fellowship. Nevertheless, under special circumstances, a student may be requested to pay full or partial tuition, or contribute toward living expenses if, for example, the student wishes to keep his or her employment.

Financial Aid ApplicationThe Financial Aid Application is part of the CEU Application for Admission. It should be filled out and submitted together with all other application documents. The Financial Aid Application must be placed in a separate sealed envelope addressed to the CEU Admissions Office.

CEU does not cover visa costs.

Reimbursement of Test FeesApplicants from countries without Soros foundations who are required to take standard admissions tests offered throughout the world may apply for some financial contribution from CEU toward the reimbursement of the cost of the relevant test. Such applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Other Scholarship FundsEvery year CEU raises a limited number of scholarships from alumni, private and governmental sources, foundations and corporations. Decisions on special scholarship awards are made by the respective department on the basis of outstanding academic merit. No special application form is necessary for these scholarships. Applicants are notified in their acceptance letter if they are also recipients of a special individual scholarship.
