Modern linguistic liberal arts education combines classical traditions with innovative practices and techniques. Applicants can choose: the most interesting and relevant areas for learning languages; courses; topics for their projects and studies; and, as a result, a future profession.
St Petersburg University launches a new academic programme in philology and linguistics for bachelor’s students – ‘Foreign Languages (Czech and English)’. It will make it possible for students to simultaneously study several languages and their features. They will also receive a fundamental knowledge of theoretical grammar and stylistics, and spoken and written languages. The advantage of the programme is in the in-depth acquisition of two European languages and the western humanitarian tradition. The learning process is focused on working with languages. It is based on uniquely designed courses and an interdisciplinary approach. Additionally, bachelor’s students will be able to choose a second Slavonic language for studying (Slovak, Polish or Ukrainian).
This is a full-time, four-year programme, and there will be only paid tuition places. You will find detailed information on admission policies here.
The programme focuses on providing graduates with fundamental professional education. Bachelor’s students will be taught by leading experts in philology and foreign languages.
