In order to be granted the diploma in Ukrainian Philology the student is required to complete the whole curriculum given below and pass the MA examination.

The curriculum comprises compulsory courses, elective lectures and specialisation courses.

In years I and II all the courses are compulsory, including the course in another East Slavonic language which starts in semester II. The student has a choice of the course in Belorussian or in Russian. The curriculum of year I-II does not allow for postponing any of the courses to any later years of studies.

Within five years of studies each student should individually complete two of the so-called elective lectures (2 lectures, 30 hours each). The students have a freedom of choice only as far as the subject of the lecture is concerned, the signature for the elective lectures, however, is compulsory. In exceptional cases, with the consent of the Chair authorities (the Director of the Institute) the fulfilment of requirements for the signature may be postponed till semester I of year IV.

In practice, till the end of year III students should have completed all the courses of propaedeutic or general ‘interdisciplinary” or ‘inter-faculty’ character, therefore the final examination completing the six-semesters’ long course in a West European language is planned for the summer examination session after year III.

The choice of specialisation (in literature or linguistics) takes place at the beginning of year IV, and this entails the necessity to complete - apart from the MA seminar and two monographic lectures (in semester I of year IV and in semester I of year V, 30 hours each) - the specialisation courses.

The above-mentioned conditions are in keeping with the decisions of the Board of the Institute of East Slavonic Philology, the Board of the Faculty of Philology of the Jagiellonian University, and the Regulations of Studies at the Jagiellonian University.

1. The student must obtain all the respective credits (in the form of the teacher’s signature) before the examination period commences.

2. Failing to obtain more than one signature bans the student from being admitted to the examination period.

3. The lack of signature for a course concluding with an examination must be compensated for during the examination period.

4. Having obtained the missing signature the student may take the examination during the re-sit examination period - the second term. This is to be interpreted as an unsatisfactory mark.

5. A missing signature for a course not conlcuding with an examination must be obtained during the re-sit examination period.

6. All the dates of the written and oral tests for signature as well as examinations are established and made known to the Secretariat of the Institute of East Slavonic Philology by the course teacher or examiner.

7. Obtaining credits (signature) and taking examinations at other times than the examination periods is inadmissible and will not be recognised by the Authorities of the Institute of East Slavonic Philology.

8. The Authorities of the Institute of East Slavonic Philology must be informed about any pre-examination period dates (the ‘zero’ examination dates).

9. Any case of the student’s failing to attend an examination without a prior formal excuse is to be interpreted as an unsatisfactory mark for the examination.

10. The application form for postponing the examination along with the doctor’s certificate should be filed with the Secretariat of the Institute of East Slavonic Philology on the day of examination at the latest (recognised will be only those certificates which have been issued or confirmed by the Jagiellonian University Outpatient Clinic).

11. In the case of the student’s application for an additional examination date, a reference letter from the examiner or the course teacher must be enclosed with the application form.
