The Department of Romance Studies is divided into four sections: French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The department offers both BA and MA programmes for each language.

In the BA programmes, the focus is on developing practical language skills (with graduates reaching a C1 proficiency level in the studied language), core theoretical linguistic disciplines (phonetics, morphology, and syntax of the respective language), and the history of literature written in French, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese. Students are also introduced to general linguistics and literary theory. The core curriculum is complemented by a wide range of elective courses, allowing students to explore specific areas of interest. Additionally, students study a second Romance language and further improve their English proficiency.

The MA programmes aim to deepen students’ expertise in literature written in the studied language and to explore complex linguistic phenomena associated with the selected Romance language, including contrastive analysis with Czech and other Romance languages. By the end of the programme, students are expected to reach C2 language proficiency. The curriculum also introduces advanced linguistic fields such as lexicology and phraseology, while expanding students’ knowledge of literary history and theory through specialized courses focusing on the philosophy of literature, selected authors, and literary genres.
