Representatives from business, research, politics and administration
confirm a growing demand for experts on Eastern Europe , yet appropriate
education and training is scarce. Thus, the Institute for East European
Studies (OEI) at the Freie Universität Berlin has taken the

for its East-West competence. East European studies are set out
to be multidisciplinary and contain political, social, historical,
cultural, economic and legal knowledge. Students are to be enabled
to analyze and interpret developments and situations in Eastern
Europe and to assess them within their respective political, social,
legal, economic, historical and cultural contexts. Moreover, students
will be equipped with the skills that are necessary to work out
regional questions and problems in a multidisciplinary and comparative
way. The emphasis is placed on distance learning. Multimedia, in
particular electronic media, is used to convey the contents. The
units will be presented online. However, there will be four obligatory
in-house classes.
