Department of Semiotics
At the University of Tartu, we offer bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes in Semiotics and Cultural Studies. Our research focuses on cultural semiotics, semiotic theory, sociosemiotics, political semiotics, translation semiotics, ecosemiotics, and biosemiotics. Rooted in the traditions of Juri Lotman and Jakob von Uexküll, the Tartu School of Semiotics is internationally renowned as a leading hub for semiotic studies and research. Our department is also home to the Centre for Semiotic Applications, which aims to promote the research and methods of semiotic applications and their practical use in society.
