Várják a hallgatókat Izlandon! Dear colleagues in Universities in Europe, We just released a new video on Small State Studies in Iceland, on Youtube. Open for students interested to go to Iceland and to have a diploma. Please share the new video among your students! Here is the video https://youtube/watch?v=8JrW0i-ve8g Here is our website: english.hi.is/school_of_social_sciences/faculty_of_political_science/small_state_studies Further information: The Faculty of Political Science and the Centre for Small States at the University of Iceland offer a graduate diploma (30 ECTS) in Small-State Studies with a special focus on small states in Europe. Aim of the diploma The diploma offers a detailed study of small state theories based on the literature on the state and the international system. It also emphasizes the opportunities and constraints facing small states in Europe, i.e. how they are affected by and have responded to the process of European integration, new security threats, globalization and other domestic and international challenges. Special attention is devoted to the Nordic states and their reactions to European integration. Another particular focus will be on Icelands position - as a small state - in the international system. A detailed study of small states in Europe and internationally has never been so important. A vast majority of member states in todays European Union are most often categorised as small states, i.e. 21 states out of 27 members - and the same applies to a majority of member states of the United Nations. Learning outcome At the end of the diploma students should have a solid knowledge of the position of small European states in the international system and in the context of ongoing European integration; a clear picture of the opportunities and constraints which small states face both domestically and internationally; and an understanding of how the European small states have responded to international challenges. Why Reykjavík? The Centre of Small States at the University of Iceland has already established itself as one of the main institutes in research and teaching on small states. The Centre can draw upon a network of academics from all over the globe studying in this field. The Centre has, with 15 European and American Universities, held an annual Summer School on Small States in Europe - funded by ERASMUS - since 2003. It has published a number of books and papers on small states and held conferences and seminars in Iceland and abroad. The director of the programme is Dr. Baldur Thorhallsson, Jean Monnet Professor of Political Science and Chair of the Centre for Small States, a leading expert in the field of small-state studies and European integration. The diploma is open to all students who have completed their undergraduate studies. Students apply specifically for the diploma at the University of Iceland, or take the courses as part of their ‘semester abroad’, as exchange students. Students can also take individual courses from within the diploma programme, and gain the credits for these courses, without necessarily having to complete the full programme. Application deadlines: Application deadline for exchange students is May 1st for the fall semester. Application deadline for international students applying for Small State Studies is February 1st. Icelandic and Nordic students: June 5th. NB: If application is accepted quick action will be needed to submit the necessary documentation to the Icelandic immigration authorities. For further information please visit the website of the Icelandic immigration authorities. Information for new students How to apply Please contact Gunnhildur Sigurhansdóttir, Project Manager, Faculty of Political Science ([email protected]) for further information on the diploma programme.
