Center for Eastern European Studies, University of Zurich null Studentships

The Center for Eastern European Studies (CEES) at the University of Zurich offers studentships designed to support advanced research and study in the history, politics, culture, and societies of Eastern Europe. These studentships are intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to deepen their regional expertise while studying at one of Europe’s leading research universities. Awards typically contribute to living costs, research travel, archival work, or tuition-related expenses, allowing recipients to concentrate on their academic projects without excessive financial pressure.

Applicants are usually expected to demonstrate a strong academic record, a clearly defined research or study plan connected to Eastern Europe, and, where relevant, proficiency in regional languages. The Center’s interdisciplinary environment gives studentship holders access to seminars, workshops, and a network of scholars working across Central and Eastern European studies. Because competition is significant, candidates should prepare a compelling statement of purpose, secure academic references, and observe all deadlines carefully.
