Program overview
The Serbian language program falls under the category of foreign languages and literatures. It focuses on developing skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation in Serbian, while also providing insights into the history, culture, politics, and economy of Serbia and the Balkan region. Core courses include Basic Serbian, Advanced Serbian, Serbian Conversation, Serbian Listening, Serbian Reading, Serbian Writing, Translation Theory and Practice, Selected Readings in Serbian Literature, and an Overview of the Balkan Region. Chinese universities such as Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University have strong faculty in this field, and some schools offer exchange opportunities in Serbia. This program is ideal for students who are passionate about language learning, interested in Eastern European culture, and willing to take on the challenge of a less-commonly taught language. If you enjoy exploring niche cultures or aspire to work in fields related to Central and Eastern Europe, this major will give you a unique perspective and competitive edge.
