Course Description
Russia and China are both dynamic, rapidly developing nations with extensive influence in global politics. This degree allows you to develop knowledge of these complex and contrasting cultures, developing valuable linguistic expertise and gaining unique international experience.
In addition to targeting your language skills, this course offers you a rich variety of modules in Russian history and culture while allowing you to uncover the complexities of contemporary Chinese politics, society and identities. You may also choose to branch out into the study of Serbian/Croatian and South-East European histories and cultures.
Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in both the Russian and Chinese languages and cultures, but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone won't only benefit your degree, it'll shape the person you are to become.
