Area Studies
Area Studies is an undergraduate programme focused on understanding key contexts of the contemporary world. By integrating various approaches and methods, the programme offers a unique and comprehensive perspective primarily on the Northern Hemisphere, specifically North America, Europe, and Eurasia. However, it also pays attention to developments in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Pacific region, and the Mediterranean. Historically, the study concentrates on the period from the 19th century to the present day, with an emphasis on events after 1945, and thematically covers a broad range of areas, including politics, economics, culture, society, and international relations.
All materials are available only in Czech.
