The Department of Slavistics is one of the central departments of the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. Since the establishment of the Department of Slovenian Studies in 2002, the Department of Slavistics has focused on comparative Slavic Linguistics and other Slavic languages. Consequently, the department now offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Slovak, Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, Polish and Russian studies.

The department shares a library with the Department of Slovenian Studies.


Development

The department focused on four different scientific fields of Slavistics: South Slavic Studies, Comparative Slavic Linguistics, Russian Studies, and West Slavic Studies.

One of the first study programmes, South Slavic Studies, was founded in 1919. It was always part of the study programme but over time it changed its name. As an undergraduate study programme, it consists of the study of Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian languages and their literature. During the reforms, the department adopted many new study contents and broadened the spectre of languages. In 2002, the Department of Slavistics separated from the Department of Slovenian Studies and became an independent department with three new chairs for West Slavic Studies: Czech, Polish and Slovak Studies.

Today

The Comparative Slavic Linguistics is a two-disciplinary study programme The programmes at the Department include learning of the language, literature, societies and cultures. Consequently the Department offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Slovak, Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, Polish and Russian studies. At the Department work lecturers from Slovenia and abroad.
