Summary/Abstract: This text tracks the development of Anthropology and Ethnology teaching centered on Slavic cultures in Bulgarian and Czech universities, from the XIXth century to the present day, focusing on their contemporary state. A detailed analysis is made on the teaching curriculum in different educational institutions, based on the comparative approach. So, we come to the conclusion that these disciplines are taught not only in cultural but also in linguistical majors. In both countries they are not, with few exceptions, widespread and in the Czech universities, unlike in Bulgarian, there are practically no separate courses on these topics. Another conclusion is made on the fact that in Bulgaria, the majors and master programs related to Anthropology don't usually include such courses, while they are present in the Czech Republic, although narrowed down to specific topics and historical direction. A third conclusion is that both in Bulgaria and in the Czech Republic, the majors and master programs related to Ethnology don't, as a rule, include such courses. Finally, they are best represented in the linguistical majors in both countries (although it is hardly to observe common principles), which demonstrates the preservation, to this day, of the "classical" XIXth century model.
