The sub-programme Latvian Studies provides knowledge in the modern Latvian language, Latvian folklore and mythology, understanding of Latvian literature and cultural processes, research of regional literature: its changing traditions in Latgale, acquisition of regional variants of the Latvian language and the Latgalian written language, as well as the Lithuanian language studies, thus giving students the opportunity to dwell not only into the processes taking place in contemporary Latvian, literature and their research, but also to focus on regional studies – regional aspects of Latgale culture and language.
The cultural and historical development of the region of Eastern Latvia (Latgale) and the contemporary social demand have determined the implementation of the sub-programme Russian Studies in two versions – Russian Studies I and Russian Studies II.
