Studijske grupe

General Information

The Department of Serbian Literature with South Slavic Literatures is unique in our country, as it is the only one where two Serbian literature majors are offered. In the Serbian Literature and Language (05) major, studies focus on the history and poetics of national literature in the South Slavic and world context. The curriculum of the Serbian Literature and Language with Comparative Studies (06) major also includes parallel research of Serbian and world literature. Thanks to the various compulsory and elective courses, as well as other activities and programs, students of the Department acquire competencies for work in education, journalism, publishing, media, marketing, various areas of artistic creativity, related philological disciplines, diplomacy, and other fields. Bachelor studies are followed by master’s studies, which will help students reinforce and build on the knowledge they have gained in all areas of literary science, as well as acquire practical training for the teaching profession. Upon completion of their master’s degree, the best students of our Department are able to continue on to doctoral studies, where they acquire the specialized theoretical and methodological knowledge that is necessary for future contributors in the field of literary science.
