Serbo-Croatian

Serbo-Croatian is taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate level at UCL SSEES.

The Serbo-Croatian language is spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, where it has several political names: Bosnian, Bosniak, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian. It belongs to the group of South Slavonic languages, together with Bulgarian, Macedonian and Slovene. Serbo-Croatian is written in two alphabets: Latin and Cyrillic. Both alphabets have 30 letters, each corresponding to a particular sound, which makes reading and writing Serbo-Croatian very easy. Learning Serbo-Croatian will enable you to communicate with people from across the region in their own language.

Our Students Say....

"The language tuition I received in Serbo-Croatian at SSEES was one of the best aspects of my MRes, nurturing a skill and passion for the region that I'll keep for the rest of my life. My teachers were unfailingly committed, engaging and devoted to improving not just our understanding of the language and grammar, but the context from which it came and the places where it is spoken today. We learnt so much more than the bare bones of how to speak, read & write, gaining invaluable access to a place, a people and a culture" Alice Bloch, Eastern European Studies MRes
