About the Program
The Azerbaijani language is the national language of our people and the official state language of the independent Republic of Azerbaijan. Having withstood the test of centuries, this language has developed and become enriched, and today it is widely used in all spheres of the countrys socio-political, cultural, and economic life. Teaching the Azerbaijani language in educational institutions of our republic, improving the teaching process, and applying progressive methods in education are among the key priorities.
Within the framework of the program, students become familiar with Azerbaijani literature—its oral and written branches, the lives and creative works of classical authors, folklore, and written literature. They study the developmental stages of literature from ancient times to the present day.
To obtain a degree, students must complete a pre-diploma internship and defend a graduation thesis.
