The aim of the master's degree in Hungarian Studies and Finno-Ugric Studies is to train scientists and experts in language and cultural research and cultural mediation who apply their qualifications in various areas of science and culture, administration and business, or who are scientists in the framework of the doctoral program can further qualify. Depending on the specialization (Hungarian Studies or Finno-Ugric Studies), the scientific and didactic focus of the course lies on the literary, cultural and / or linguistic issues of the Hungarian-speaking cultural area or in the broader sense of the Finno-Ugric (Ural) speaker communities and their cultures.

The students will be able to handle the language, texts and verbal cultural forms scientifically, not only in the traditional written forms but also in digital environments. Understanding of the linguistic and cultural diversity and the central importance of language and cultural contacts plays a fundamental role in both specialisations.
