Course overview

The Department of Semiotics at the University of Tartu is one of the most important centres of semiotics in Europe, with deep roots for cultural semiotics and biosemiotics.

Names and work of biosemiotician Jakob von Uexküll and Yuri Lotman, founder of the world-renowned Tartu-Moscow school of semiotics, form the cornerstone of the Department of Semiotics at the University of Tartu. In 2006, the library of the Department of Semiotics received as a donation the memorial library of Thomas A. Sebeok, including his personal collection of biosemiotic literature.

This 2-year Master's program includes study modules in history of semiotics, semiotics of culture and art, bio-, eco- and zoosemiotics, sociosemiotics and societal theories. The curriculum includes lecture courses as well as seminars and practical work.
