The French-Belarusian Department of Political and Administrative Sciences is
the largest educational project in Eastern and Central Europe, supported by the
French Ministry for Foreign Affairs, that offers training and degrees equivalent
to those of French institutes of political sciences.
The Department's creation was initiated by the French Embassy in Belarus in
1993. Administration of the Department's activities is carried out together with
the Academic Council of
the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In cooperation with the Institutes of Political Sciences of Bordeaux, Grenoble,
Rennes, Lion, Aix-en-Provence, Strasbourg, and the University of Paris-Nanterre-X,
the Department trains specialists in the fields of political sciences and world
economy. |

Teaching is conducted by full-time French and Belarusian faculty, and
visiting lecturers are invited not only from France but also from different education
institutions of Western and Central Europe and the U.S.
Each year the Department sends several university graduates to France for one
and two-year master degree and doctoral programs in order to ensure faculty and
curriculum development.
Launching minor program of European Studies is one of the discernible activities
of the Department. The Department runs this program jointly with the Institutes
of Political Science of Grenoble, Strasbourg, and Trinity College, Dublin, under
the respective TEMPUS project. More than 100 students of the EHU and other Belarusian
higher educational establishments were enrolled in this program during the last
three years. |
