Course Description
Develop high-level Russian language skills and gain insight into the workings of today’s increasingly globalised world.
This four-year degree programme is jointly taught by the School of Languages Linguistics and Film and the School of Politics and International Relations, and combines two different, but often complementary, areas of interest.
You'll divide your time equally between the two subjects, with the flexibility to tailor your degree with a wide choice of modules. You'll gain an excellent grounding in Russian language, taking core modules in written and spoken Russian, and explore its fascinating culture, politics, society and history. You’ll also learn to engage with political theories, ideas and ideologies, governments and institutions, and comparative politics.
The programme will give you a sophisticated understanding of the cultural references that shape Russian identities. You’ll spend your third year studying or working in a Russian-speaking country such as Latvia, immersing yourself in its language and society. No prior knowledge of Russian is required.
