Slavic Studies - Dual-Subject Bachelor's Programme

Within the scope of the Dual-subject Bachelor, you can take Slavic Studies

Slavic Studies can be studied either in connection with a non-teaching career goal or as a professional teaching qualification. If you want to become a teacher, you must follow the combinations of subjects for each teaching position.

Orientation and Goals

This programme is focused on Slavic philology and the languages, literatures, and cultures of Slavic-speaking peoples. At the University of Oldenburg, Russia and Poland are the main focal areas, but Ukrainian and Belarussian is also included. In some cases, other Slavic cultures are dealt with in a comparative manner. The core areas of Slavic philology are literature studies and linguistics, and didactics in the case of students studying to become teachers.

Foreign Language Skills

In order to enable students to begin studying Slavic Studies without the prior knowledge of a Slavic language, the Institute of Slavic Studies offers free pre- or catch-up courses in Polish and Russian during or after the first semester.

Students intending to move on to a Master of Education for teaching at the Gymnasium are required to provide documentation of their skills in one further foreign language in addition to Russian by the end of the master's programme.
