MSLU also offers master’s and doctoral programmes in various research fields. We were the first to introduce practically-oriented master’s programmes in four emerging fields (interpreting and translation studies, communication management, data treatment and analysis, and new technologies in foreign-language teaching).
The University is a coordinating centre for teaching activities and scholarly research carried out by foreign-language departments in fifteen higher education institutions and seven teacher training colleges in the Republic of Belarus. The republican methodological centre located at MSLU creates standardized academic programmes and curricula and defines educational standards in foreign-language teaching for all levels of education.
MSLU is actively involved in the development of the innovation policy in the field of foreign-language education in the Republic of Belarus. A variety of academic programmes and specializations offered by MSLU allows the University to meet the current demand in qualified young specialists in the humanities, philology, linguistics and foreign-language teaching.

A unique educational and research project called Lingvapark initiated by MSLU aims to use the University’s high intellectual potential in the field of linguistics. One of its major objectives is to find efficient solutions to the problems and challenges of language education and cross-cultural mediation, particularly in the socio-economic and production spheres. It also aims to provide high-quality linguistic assistance in the marketing of merchandise and services in any language for which there might be a demand, including the rare ones.
