Programme overview

The specialisation of Baltic Linguistics is the only study programme of its kind designed to train highly qualified specialists in Baltic Linguistics who are versed in the fields of synchronic and diachronic Baltic Linguistics, interdisciplinary research methods and methodological strategies, able to analyse, evaluate, solve theoretical and practical problems related to the concepts of languages and society, education, changing cultural and social identity. Students specialising in Baltic linguistics will gain knowledge of the Lithuanian, Latvian, and Prussian languages, their sources, the development of Baltic languages in the context of other Indo-European languages, and their relationship with other languages of the area. They will be able to evaluate the conducted and ongoing research in Baltic linguistics and their importance, and will acquire the skills and experience to apply modern technologies to the material of the Baltic languages.

Graduates of the specialisation in Baltic Linguistics who studied abroad in the third semester and fulfilled the requirements of a foreign university have the opportunity to receive a double diploma (and, at the same time, from the University of Latvia).

EU/EFTA students can apply for a state-funded place.
