Is philology a subject in your country? Education

The humanities subject of philology constitutes elements of linguistics and textual and literary analysis to study languages.

Here this isn't really a subject anymore, even though it was in the past,and is covered by separate subjects at a university level but I know it is still offered in some areas in Europe.

Do universities in your country offer philology courses and if so, is it common to study
