Slavonic Studies—Eastern Slavonic Studies

The degree programme offers the opportunity to combine philological and practical focuses. There are many points of contact with other subjects.
• Internationally recognised special features of the Jena South Slavic Studies focus are its Balkanological and cultural studies profile and the interdisciplinary cooperation within the framework of South-Eastern European Studies.
• First-year students with no previous knowledge of Russian are given the opportunity to take part in special practical language exercises (pre-semester preparatory course) before the start of their first semester.
• The University of Jena maintains numerous contacts with partner universities in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, where it is possible to stay abroad.
