After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• communicate in the Serbian language in a written and an oral form at the B2 level
• appraise the development of Serbian literature and culture in the European context
• analyse and comment on current political, social, and cultural affairs in Serbia
• translate and interpret from/into Serbian
• apply the knowledge, skills, and methodological approaches obtained in the course of the study programme in practice or in further studies

Students in the double-subject study programme are obliged to earn at least 180 credits in both their subjects together (95 credits in the primary, and 85 credits in the secondary field of study).

The Bachelor’s degree study programme concludes with the Bachelor’s thesis defence (or by submitting the Bachelor’s minor thesis if this study programme is the secondary field of study) and passing the final state examination.

During the course of their studies, students should follow the study catalogue valid for their year of matriculation. The study catalogues for the individual years of matriculation are available at the Faculty of Arts website.

The Bachelor’s final state examination tests the knowledge obtained during the study programme, in four basic fields: 1) language competence (a written part of the exam – translation and an essay; an oral part of the exam – a dialogue with the examiner on various topics); 2) linguistic competence (the knowledge of phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax of the Serbian language); 3) literary theoretical competence (the knowledge of the history of Serbian literature, the ability to interpret and analyse the works of literature); and 4) cultural-historical competence (the knowledge of Serbian history, culture and national characteristics).
