About

Course overview

Your degree will train you to the highest level of proficiency in speaking, writing and understanding in your chosen languages, whether you begin with no prior knowledge or already have a good command of the language. As you progress through the degree, compulsory language modules are tailored to your existing knowledge. You will also take a compulsory literature module each year.

You are encouraged to develop and pursue your own interests by choosing optional modules from within three pathways:

Language and Literature
Social Science
History

Your third year is spent abroad. This will not only bring the language and culture you are studying to life, but also strengthen your resourcefulness and self-reliance. You will spend this year studying at a university in your chosen country.

What this course will give you

You will gain a thorough grounding in the Czech language and culture, supplemented by a choice of optional culture, history and social science modules. You will spend your third year abroad.

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.

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

You will be able to make the most of the huge benefits of studying in London, a global city with sizeable east European communities. This city hosts a wide range of cultural events with an east European dimension.

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 Czech literature, history and culture that will prepare you for a wide variety of careers in Europe.
