The department
was founded in 1957, a year after the Pedagogical Institute became, in 1956, the
Faculty of Philology. The newly founded section had the profile
“Russian-Romanian”.
At present, the
department coordinates the activity of two sections: Russian – Romanian or a
foreign language and Serbian – Romanian or a foreign language, each section
having ten students (starting with 1999). The admission is based on a written
exam, according to the decisions of the Faculty Council and the University
Senate.
The department
works mainly in two directions: a didactic and a scientific one. With the first
direction, students are trained to teach Russian and Serbian (after a special
course in the third year). In the last year, students acquire abilities as
translators, guides, journalists, editors.
The courses
finish with a Bachelor’s degree, after which the students have the write to work
in both of the qualifications they have obtained.
