Course Description
This course combines English with the study of Russian, a language of strategic importance spoken by people across several countries and large diasporic communities, including in the UK. The course offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and a range of options that will allow you to pursue your own interests.
Students on this course will join two departments with top researchers in a diversity of fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both subjects, while also considering the relationships between them.
You will explore a rich variety of texts in their social, political and historical contexts and will develop excellent critical and communication skills, both in English and in Russian.
You will complete a dissertation during your final year – a project that will ask you to bring together the skills you have developed while studying both disciplines.
Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations.
Our course will ensure you practice a range of skills, which will make you attractive to future employers in the globalised workplace and in the sector of your choice.
Russian can be studied from beginner’s level and post-A level (or equivalent). All modern languages students have access to our state-of-the-art Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafés, student newspapers, and talent shows.
