Slovene Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava has a long and interesting history, which was, to a considerable extent, influenced by political factors. After the period of Slovak-born lecturers, which lasted for several decades, Slovene lecturers started teaching at Comenius University in 1992. The situation of Slovene Studies has changed significantly, when Slovene language became a part of the study programmes Central European Studies (2012) and Slavic Studies (2016), which was also a reason for the annual production of new degree dissertations. One doctoral thesis from the Slovak-Slovene comparative field was also written. At the beginning of the article a short history of Slovene Studies at Comenius University in Bratislava is described, after which short summaries of the cited works are given.
