The Department of Applied Philology is an educational oasis for those who believe in the power of communication and understanding, in the victory of humanism, and in the secrets of ancient and new texts of culture and history, language, and literature as mirrors of society. Specializing in teaching translation from English, Polish, and Spanish languages and cross-cultural dimensions of world literature, we prepare students for successful challenges in the community. By choosing the Department of Applied Philology, you are choosing opportunities for personal and professional growth in a global world.

We offer training in three languages, with the first being English, which expands opportunities in the labour market and opens the door to intercultural communication. It enables internships at universities and organizations in Europe and America, and participation in exchange projects and programs. All this is valuable experience for future specialists looking for a rapid career.

Our teachers are highly qualified practitioners who are ready to share their innovative educational experience and research results. They are dedicated to their work, and they strive to provide the best education possible. Our training programs are designed for people of all ages who are ready to face the challenges of today.

learning and teaching
The Department of Applied Philology introduces modern, methodical, and innovative approaches to the educational process. While studying disciplines, students are given the opportunity to choose to visit pairs: online or offline, synchronously using resources (ZOOM, Google Meet), or asynchronously (the Educational Portal of MSU (LMS Moodle)). This flexible approach enables our students to effectively combine their studies with other aspects of life.

The process of studying languages and literatures at the department is aimed at revealing creative potential and developing creativity, thanks to the use of the project method of learning, internships in publishing houses, the holding of the "PereKLADach" (Translator) competition, classes in the creative studio "Antrakt," (Intermission) and student scientific societies. This is an important aspect of the formation of specialists in philology and translation.

Exchange programs, particularly Erasmus+, offer unique opportunities for students in the department to deepen their knowledge and skills in the study of languages and cultures. One of the key advantages of these programs is the possibility of complete immersion in the linguistic and cultural environment of the country whose language is being studied.

Participation in exchange programs allows students to gain international experience, expand their horizons, and have a better understanding of global problems. Exchange programs make a positive contribution to students’ resumes and increase their competitiveness in the international labour market.

The department coordinates the work of the Center of Polish Culture, a special place where the Polish language, literature, and culture come to life and acquire a new sound. The main goal of the center is the popularization and study of the Polish language and culture, the expansion of students’ knowledge, and a deeper immersion in the world of the Polish word. The center organizes lectures, seminars, and round tables where important aspects of Polish literature are discussed. Students have the opportunity to study and analyze the works of prominent Polish writers.
research activities
A feature of the scientific work of the department’s teachers is the diversity of interests (problems of linguistics, literary studies, and translation studies), which have united in the implementation of the department’s complex scientific topic 0121U108019 "Comparative Studies: Slavic and Germanic languages and Literatures in a Cross-Cultural Perspective" (supervisor: Candidate of Philological Sciences, Associate Professor O.V. Pedchenko).

The department is the initiator and organizer of the International Scientific Seminar "May Polish-Ukrainian Readings" jointly with the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Interuniversity Scientific Seminar "Literature in a Cross-Cultural Perspective" jointly with the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures of the University of Ottawa.

The department promotes international cultural exchange by organizing meetings with scientists from foreign universities and guest speeches by lecturers and cultural experts. The teachers of the department participate in scientific internships on various problems of modern philological research in European universities.
