Announcement
Due to the great interest in the former History in the Public Sphere Erasmus Mundus (HIPS) program, as a continuation of it, a dual degree program was designed and started in 2025 by the Department of Historical Studies, CEU and the Graduate School of Global Studies, TUFS (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies). We admit students into our History in the Public Sphere Dual Degree program for the academic years 2026–2028. Based on merit, a variety of financial aids (scholarships and tuition fee waivers) will be available at both institutions. (The Program is subject to accreditation by AQ Austria.)
Administrative requirements:
- electronic versions of all higher education academic records
- curriculum vitae or resume
-
motivation letter (max. 500 words), highlighting the candidate’s reasons for applying to the program, relevant academic or work experience, and future career plans (under "document uploads" in the online application form).
- research proposal: a 500-word research proposal for the MA thesis which will be weighed heavily in the admissions decision. The topic is expected to fall within the broad thematic focus of History in the Public Sphere and should be delimited and set out with the greatest possible clarity. Previous work on the subject, familiarity with source materials, language skills, and other qualifications relevant to the proposed research should be indicated
- Sample proposal 1
- Sample proposal 2
