Faculty of Adyghe Philology and Culture

The Faculty of Adyghe Philology and Culture was established in 1990 on the basis of the department of the Adyghe language and literature, which was part of the Faculty of Philology since 1953.

The most active students are 3 and 4 courses. The main requirements for membership in SSS are participation in conferences, competitions, creative competitions. And for this, the faculty has all the conditions.

A highly qualified faculty provides an opportunity to provide guidance for students’ research work and their orientation in the future to enroll in graduate school. Various areas of training and specialties at the faculty give the opportunity to choose scientific interests. Many graduates of the faculty come to graduate school in the specialties: “Literature of the Peoples of Russia”, “Folklore”, “Caucasian Languages”, etc.

Since 2000, the descendants of the Adyghe poet, Khusen Khamkhoko, established an award for the best poem, prose work and scientific work in the Adyghe language for students, which is presented annually at the final April student scientific-practical conference.

To activate students, it is also necessary to be an example. Following this rule, teachers of the faculty conduct active scientific activities. Otherwise, it is impossible, since the scientific and methodological literature on Adyghe philology is created by the teachers of the faculty themselves. This is also an important feature of teaching at the faculty. These works you can see on the website of the faculty under the heading “Library”.

Creative people always find application to their knowledge and skills. Our graduates work on Adygea television (80%), as amended by Adyge Mak, in schools and childcare institutions of the republic, abroad, teaching the diaspora in the literacy of the native language. We meet our graduates among poets and writers. To be able to help discover and realize your creative potential is the main task of the creative directions created at the faculty.
