Course Description

Russian: A degree in Russian will allow you to study a language of strategic international significance, as well as giving you access to the richness of Russian culture. Glasgow has a long history of teaching Russian and Slavonic languages and we offer excellent materials in our dedicated language resource library.. Sociology studies the ways that people organise their lives together, the constraints within which they do so, the patterns of their social behaviour, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities. One of the distinctive features of our Sociology programme, commended by external examiners and by our graduates, is the combination of sociological, criminological and anthropological perspectives which we provide.
