The main focus of the centre concentrates on economic and regional research of Latin America.

During their studies, students can decide between two minor specializations. The first specialization is European Regional and Economic Studies and the second is Central European Regional and Economic Studies.

The program is designed for students from all over the world who have completed their bachelor’s education. Previous education in international relations, political science, history, law, economics, sociology, public policy, public administration, or other social science or humanities is an advantage. Students from other programs may be candidates as well.
