The aim of the study is to develop and deepen the knowledge and skill acquired in the framework of bachelor’s study and to prepare a philologist with a wider basis of Slavonic studies. The students will focus on wider diachronous aspects of linguistic research, will concentrate upon a more complicated level of syntax and stylistics; in literary criticism they will get a deeper insight into the methodology of literary scholarship and the awareness of a wider context of Slavonic literatures and the place of Serbian literature in it. The separate elaboration of master’s diploma theses under the individual guidance of supervisors represents a specific preparation for the potential doctoral study and, at the same time, the verification of the acquired knowledge and skill.
