The Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS)

BEEGS is a unique environment for research studies in the Swedish academic world. The international composition of doctoral students, the multi-disciplinary emphasis of the post-graduate studies combined with specific discipline studies and a special emphasis on regional studies of the Baltic area and Eastern Europe creates specialists with a very particular competence.

The Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS) is located at Södertörns högskola (Södertörn University) in south Stockholm, Sweden. BEEGS is part of the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies, CBEES.

Applications for admission to BEEGS are invited once per year. Applicants from all countries are welcome to apply and a number of doctoral students are admitted each year. The language of instruction is English and fluency in English is required.

BEEGS is financed by a grant from the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (Östersjöstiftelsen).

Up until now the graduate school has been run in co-operation with other Swedish universities, where the doctoral candidates have been formally registered.

Since Södertörn University now has obtained the right to confer doctorates, future doctoral students will be enrolled at Södertörn University.
