Master of Arts in Eurasian Studies

The Master of Arts in Eurasian Studies offered by the School of Sciences and Humanities at NU is a two-year graduate-level program and the first multi-disciplinary program in entire Central Asia that studies Eurasia. The faculty is composed of globally renowned scholars and professors of Eurasian studies with disciplines in anthropology, economics, history, literature, oriental studies, philosophy, political science, and sociology.

Enrolled students are involved in a curriculum that fortifies their skills and knowledge of research methods in areas of study such as the social sciences and humanities. Students accepted into the M.A. program are also able to explore languages, histories, societies, politics, and societies of Eurasia and study in Astana amid access to government agencies, fieldwork sites, archives, international organizations, etc. We define Eurasia inclusively, comprising not just the five post-Soviet republics of Central Asia, but Xinjiang, Mongolia, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Russia and Eastern Europe.

We believe the Eurasian MA will allow you to explore a wide range of intellectual interests, to receive a rigorous training in your chosen field, and to take an interdisciplinary approach to whatever research questions you develop.
