STUDY OF TURKIC LANGUAGES AND CULTURES
EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM
1. INTRODUCTION
Turkic Studies as a scholarly discipline exists at many European and world universities where
foreign languages and cultures are studied and analyzed as part of world heritage, into which the
national culture of the country in question is by definition included. Turkic languages are spoken in a
vast geographical area – from the southwest of Turkey and its neighbours to the southeast, i.e. east
Turkestan and China; therefrom from south and north Siberia to the northeast, all the way up to the
Arctic, and in nortwest – from west Siberia to east Europe. After the breakup of the USSR, the
importance of some of these languages has risen side by side with the geopolitical and economic
importance of turkophone republics, suddenly independent.
Turkic Studies elaborated here have existed for ten years at the Zagreb Faculty of Philosophy and
can be compared with other related programs in Europe (primarily with those in Germany, Austria and
Hungary), the USA or Turkey. Nevertheless, since Turkic Studies beside common factors also have
certain differences that reflect the needs of each of the countries individually, the Zagreb School
understandably differs from the rest by the stress it places on Osmanli language (and thereby
somewhat on Arabic) and on general and cultural Osmanli history. Such emphasis enables reading and
understanding of Osmanli documents and narrative sources relevant for general and cultural history of
Croatia.
The Zagreb School shares with European universities those contents that are essential parts of
Turkic Studies: courses in contemporary Turkish language, this being the most important of all Turkic
languages, courses in Turkish literature and Islamic civilization, and courses in general and cultural
history of ancient and contemporary Turkic peoples. The program demands six semesters for the
prospect Bachelor and further four for the Master. Since the entrance requirements do not call for any
knowledge of Turkish, the minimum to enroll is familiarity with at least one discipline language –
English, German or Russian.
We hold that the study must be a binary one (double major) – on one hand because of the
possibilities and the ability to study two languages, language and linguistics or language and a suitable
non-linguistic program – and on the other because of favourable comparisons with programs abroad
that are all double majors. The sole exception is Turkey where the study of Turkish and Turkish

2
literature is a ‚national discipline,‘ and can therefore be compared with the study of Croatian language
and literature here. Experience has so far shown that Turkic Studies are quite demanding but are
attended by the motivated student who achieves expected knowledge and skills. The double major
system essentially contributes to the depth and width of knowledge and skills for those students that
will devote their energies to the other discipline.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1. Name of programme: Turkic Studies.
2.2. Institution: the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb.
2.3. Department: Dept of Oriental and Hungarian Studies, Chair of Turkic Studies.
2.4. Duration of programme. The undergraduate study lasts for 6 semesters; graduate – four. The
total length of study, for the title of Master, is 10 semesters. The prospect for doctoral study is
then available.
2.5. Study preconditions: high school diploma, successful entrance exam results at the Faculty of
Philosophy, command of at least one world language (see discipline languages).
2.6. The undergraduate study enables students to proceed to graduate level or get employment in
the economy, cultural sector, libraries, institutes, trade representations etc., where a degree of
education is needed, i.e. linguistic, scholarly and methodological competence achieved during
the course of the study.
2.7. In order to attend the graduate course, the prerequisite is completion of the undergraduate
Turkic Studies program at the Zagreb Faculty of Philosophy, with the grade point average of
at least 3.5, or a comparably successful program at a university abroad. The graduate study
enables the student for beginner scholarly work in the discipline (that can eventually result in
a Ph.D.) or for employment in institutes, libraries, in science in general, likewise in culture,
diplomacy or the economy where education is needed, i.e. the linguistic, scholarly and
methodological competence gained with graduate work in Turkic Studies.
2.8. After completing the undergraduate program the student obtains the title of the Bachelor of
Arts in Turkic Studies, while having completed the graduate course the students obtains the
title of the Master of Turkic Studies.

3. Undergraduate Programme
3.1 Credits: Courses in Turkic Studies are obligatory and total 12 points each, which makes 72 points
in the course of the undergraduate programme that lasts for six semesters (12 x 6 = 72). The sum
includes a foreign discipline language during the first year, which is taken after the first or the second
semester. The student garners the remaining points by taking non-Turkic optional subjects and
courses.
3.2 Foreign discipline languages: These are English, German and Russian. During the first and the
second semester of the Turkic Studies, the foreign language brings two points because of its inclusion
in the list of obligatory subjects. According to personal inclinations and needs, the students can, during
the third and the fourth semester, continue taking the chosen discipline language, but as an optional
subject only.
