The International Masters in Economy, State and Society (IMESS) is an established two-year double degree Masters programme, taught in English and offered by a consortium of leading European universities headed by University College London - London’s research and teaching powerhouse and one of the top five universities worldwide (THES–QS 2009). IMESS draws on an unparalleled pool of resources to offer the definitive Masters course focusing on the economies, states and societies of Central and Eastern Europe.

The programme, recognised for its excellence by the European Union's Erasmus Mundus Programme, offers three distinct study tracks, reflecting the unique multidisciplinary expertise of the consortium institutions. The study tracks are:

• Politics and Security

• Economics and Business

• Nation, History and Society

Each track combines specialist electives (economics, politics, society or history), research methods training (social sciences or humanities), and language tuition (Czech, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish or Russian) with an advanced research dissertation conducted during the latter part of the degree.
