The Department of Slavonic Studies was part of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Prešov since 1997, and as part of the reorganization of the Faculty of Arts, it was integrated into the Institute of Russian, Ukrainian and Slavonic Studies on 1 September 2005, together with the Department of Russian Studies and Translatology and the Department of Ukrainian Studies.
