Monash is the only university in Australia that offers Ukrainian studies. Independent since 1991, Ukraine is a country of keen interest to foreign observers, business people, policymakers, tourists and academics, as well as people of Ukrainian background exploring their heritage. As a Slavic language, Ukrainian is related to Russian, Polish and several other languages spoken in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe.

Ukrainian studies aims not only to develop your competence in the written and spoken language, but also to introduce you to modern Ukrainian literature, culture and history, as well as the political life of the Ukraine today.

Ukrainian language study is offered in an introductory, intermediate and proficient stream. To ensure that students are placed in the most appropriate level according to their individual profile and the best outcome they can expect to achieve, all students, except beginners, are required to undertake placement testing prior to the start of their first semester of language study.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Ukrainian studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor. If you are not a complete beginner in Ukrainian, please contact the Ukrainian Studies coordinator to determine appropriate placement.

Language study overseas program

The Ukrainian studies program has links to universities in L'viv and Kyiv and encourages students to take a summer school or a semester of study in the Ukraine. Students can choose to study an approved subject in Ukrainian at a foreign institution in semester one or two. For detailed information contact the Ukrainian studies program.
