Passing the study plan

The state examination from Medieval Latin language nad literature is an oral examination where students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of linguistic, ortographical and stylistic features of medieval Latin and its differences from classical Latin. Based on a selected Latin text, students demonstrate their knowledge of prescribed medieval authors as well as their competence in working with a difficult Latin text which requires expert knowledge of medieval literary context and theoretical background in order to critically interpret the text. During the examination, students‘ knowledge of medieval Latin and Bohemian literature is tested as well as its development, progress and its cultural-historical connections, including understanding formal features of medieval prose and poetry. Knowledge of relevant literary writings in original and translation are also part of the examination. Detailed information can be found in the IS MU system in the syllabus of the „Final state examination from Medieval Latin language and literature“.
