In the field of folklore, students learn about folk tales, songs and religions and mythology of Estonia and related nations. Special courses introduce family and local traditions and the role of folklore in political processes. Folklore is like a communication through which an often invisible, everyday culture is conveyed, shaping the world of thought of people past and present in oral, written and digital form.
Folklore directs an open look at what unites people and what separates them, how identity and the worldview are formed, how customs change and persist. It can be chosen as a specialty at both bachelor's and master's level.
