About the Program

The KU's European Studies program focuses on European cultural tradition and includes linguistics, literary studies, and cultural studies.

The program is structured over 6 semesters, with the first semester imparting fundamental knowledge, the second expanding on basics, the third and fourth allowing for elective modules to develop a profile, the fifth focusing on intercultural experience including study abroad and internship opportunities, and the sixth being the final phase including the Bachelor's thesis.
