This program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to empower them in their professional journey, offering a broad spectrum of employment opportunities in various fields. The operation of the program is defined by its flexibility, offering distance learning, a wide variety of elective courses, and active support for thesis completion, including in-person colloquium.

The MA Program in Adriatic Studies extends beyond the mere history of the Adriatic Sea. It is not confined to a static portrayal of the past. Instead, it integrates multiple disciplines—history, anthropology, linguistics, art history, and political science—to refresh our understanding of the Adriatic region and to establish a distinct model of regional studies. The MA Program in Adriatic Studies extends beyond the mere history of the Adriatic Sea. It is not confined to a static portrayal of the past. Instead, it integrates multiple disciplines—history, anthropology, linguistics, art history, and political science—to refresh our understanding of the Adriatic region and to establish a distinct model of regional studies. Exploring the past means understanding why the present is shaped as it is. To achieve this, we employ three different perspectives: a comprehensive view of the entire region (regional), an appreciation of the specific features that make up the whole (territorial), and a recognition of what we overlook or take for granted (mobility). One of our goals is to foster the creation of an international research network dedicated to the Adriatic Sea, using the three-perspective approach and the idea of the dynamic development of past societies on multiple levels.
In this effort, we seek and find partners: institutions that provide knowledge and expertise, educators with a vision for collaboration and interdisciplinary research, and students who are eager to embrace the challenge of learning.
