Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures (Hons) University of Toronto

Overview

Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures

For over one thousand years the Slavic and East European countries have played a prominent role in international life, and have provided our civilization with numerous writers, musicians, philosophers, religious and political thinkers, and scientists of note. The richness of their cultures has a special significance for Canada, since the vast influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe which began in the last century, has contributed greatly to the Canadian cultural mosaic.

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures offers an extensive range of courses in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian languages, literatures, culture, and film, as well as comparative and interdisciplinary courses. 

Language study emphasizes small instructional groups, conversational practice, and the use of current cultural materials. Courses in the literatures and cultures of various Slavic and East European countries explore the artistic, intellectual, and social cross-currents of their civilizations. Most of our literature, culture, and film courses are taught in English and do not require linguistic preparation or cultural background.
