Course Catalogue Winter Semester 2025/2026
Introduction
The KIU course catalogue “Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies” is a guide for putting together an individual Ukraine focus at the three KIU universities – European University Viadrina, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin – at both the BA and MA level. The course catalogue summarizes the current courses on Ukraine and thus offers the possibility of a cross-institutional and interdisciplinary focus. Students from all three universities are welcome to attend the courses at the other universities in the competence network. Courses at the MA level are already eligible for the certificate program “Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies”, which will start in the winter semester of 2025.
