The master's program "Ethnolinguistics of Endangered Languages ​​- Uralic Languages ​​and Cultures" (Uralic Studies) imparts comprehensive knowledge of the Finno-Ugric languages ​​and literatures as well as the respective historical and socio-cultural context. In addition to the "major" languages ​​of Estonian, Finnish and Hungarian, the course also addresses the "minor" languages ​​that are mainly spoken in the Russian Federation.
In the course of their studies, students can choose a profile area to either specialize in describing the cultures of the Uralic peoples or focus on the diverse manifestations of the Uralic languages ​​in Europe and Asia, some of which are threatened with extinction. As part of the course, there is the opportunity to deepen one's studies at a partner university in another European country (e.g. Tartu, Jyväskylä, Debrecen, Vienna, Padua, Paris, Budapest or Szeged).
