The study programme "Ukrainian Studies" closely follows the tradition of a bachelor study programme "Ukrainian Language and Literature", which has been studied at the Faculty of Slavonic Studies continuously since 1993. The programme is designed to provide students with relatively complete philological education, supplemented with essential knowledge and skills in the fields, which will allow graduates to better apply in economic, cultural and journalistic practise.

It is assumed that the graduate of the bachelor study programme will be able to apply in more demanding administrative jobs, which require higher knowledge of the Ukrainian environment in both synchronous and diachronic context, to a general overview and knowledge of foreign languages.

With emphasis being placed on practical language skills, acquisition of basic skills of translation and interpretation, knowledge of the general and cultural history of Ukraine and the broader context and orientation in the contemporary economic, political and cultural situation in Ukraine. Besides the philological disciplines, students gain basic knowledge of economics, law and techniques of administrative work.

The specialized bachelor study programme meets current labor market demands in the way of students being prepared more practically for their future jobs.

The engaged form of study enables students to combine the programme "Ukrainian Studies" with another study programme at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University (also with the possibility of combination with study programmes at other faculties of Masaryk University) to gain broader knowledge, skills and interdisciplinary competence.
