About the Program

The Master of Arts degree programme provides graduates with an in-depth knowledge of Slavic Studies. In addition to excellent intercultural and communicative competence in two Slavic languages, this course of study enables students to develop in-depth understanding of the history and structure of the Slavic languages. At the same time, students acquire a comprehensive understanding of the literature of the Slavic-speaking world, including its historical and cultural background. Furthermore, students gain first-hand experience of workshops or conferences, as well as undertaking research or practical work in a Slavic-speaking country. Thus this M.A. programme strengthens their capabilities as independent young researchers. Familiarisation with theoretical approaches to linguistics, literary and cultural studies (literary history, gender studies, sociolinguistics, etc.) allows students to further develop the skills necessary for reading and analysing literary texts and linguistic data. The over-arching objective of the M.A. is to enable students to become experts in linguistic, literary and cultural developments specific to the Slavic-speaking world.
