About

Course overview

Your degree will train you to the highest level of proficiency in speaking, writing and understanding in your chosen languages. As you progress through the degree, compulsory language modules are tailored to your existing knowledge. You will also take compulsory modules on literature and culture.

Your third year is spent abroad, studying at a partner university, split between two countries where your chosen languages are spoken. This will not only bring the language and cultures you are studying to life, but also strengthen your resourcefulness and self-reliance.

What this course will give you

The UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) is the largest national centre in the UK for the study of Central, Eastern and South-East Europe and Russia. The SSEES Library contains over 400,000 books, journals and film resources.

Our location in a cosmopolitan city provides access to frequent and varied cultural events, a huge range of museums, galleries, specialist libraries and bookshops, theatres, cinemas, cuisines and cultural societies.

You will benefit from frequent visits and lectures by prominent political, artistic and academic figures — prime ministers, foreign ministers, professors and writers.

You will gain a thorough grounding in the Czech and Ukrainian language and culture and you will spend your third year abroad.

Ukraine is one of Europe's oldest and most complex countries. Its territory and history have constantly been occupied and rewritten. Czech is a Slavonic language, largely mutually comprehensible with Slovak and spoken by approximately 11 million native speakers.This programme offers the opportunity to gain excellent language skills and a profound knowledge of literature, history and culture that will prepare you for a wide variety of careers in Europe and beyond.
