Course Description

Romanian is a Romance language spoken not only in Romania, but also in Hungary, the Republic of Moldova and parts of the former Yugoslavia. 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.

  • 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 — 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.

  • You will gain a thorough grounding in the Czech and Romanian language and culture, supplemented by a choice of optional culture, history and social science modules.
