Key Facts

Literary studies examine texts across genres and periods, exploring their historical, theoretical, and critical dimensions.

It emphasizes the role of language as a medium of cultural expression and identity, using interdisciplinary methods to analyze texts and cultural phenomena within Polish and wider humanities frameworks.Across all three disciplines, the programme highlights interdisciplinarity, combining methods and perspectives from multiple fields to support advanced research in language, literature, and cultural studies.
