Thanks for your reply! As for academic career would this matter?

From what I know Erasmus doesn't much cover such studies, but some Institutions (like LSE) offer some funding, for particular fields of studies.

Thank you, that's what my supervisor says, but I think that I have some knowledge gap.

Once again - I need your help!

Is a second Master useful for PhD Candidates?

I am currently a Phd Student in Contemporary History (Greece and decolonization) and I would like your opinions whether a second master (I have already one) would be useful. If I decided to do one more, I would have to choose between "MSc in Political Science and Sociology" and "MSc in International Relations and Strategic Studies".
My interests are somehow between the above and an "MA in International History" would cover both these fields (History and Theory of Foreign Policy, Social History, Social Science etc". But there are no such programs here. So, what do you think?

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and I find it really interesting.

I'm currently a PhD student, I study Contemporary History (Greece and decolonization to be more specific), University of Athens.

I got a BA in Philosophy, Pedagogy and Psychology and an MPhil in Contemporary Greek History from the same University. My supervisor told me that I need some international experience. So I checked some Universities in the UK and they do offer "visiting research". Does this cound as international experience? Will it cound if I add this to my CV? Plus, I'd like to know if there are scholarships within the UK for such studies.

Thank you in advance!
