Course Description
In this fascinating and varied four-year degree you’ll learn two major world languages, spend some time learning abroad and build your understanding of diverse cultures across the world. During your second year, you’ll learn Russian in a Russian-speaking country and have the opportunity to spend time in a Portuguese-speaking country. This provides invaluable opportunities to practice your language skills, and experience each region first-hand.
Portuguese-speaking countries are among the most diverse and dynamic in the world. On this course, you’ll become proficient in Portuguese, and develop a detailed understanding of the cultures and histories of Portuguese-speaking countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
If you have A-level Russian or equivalent, this degree will give you the opportunity to build on your knowledge. With approximately 170 million native speakers and tens of millions who speak it as a second language, Russian is a lingua franca not only in the Russian Federation, but also in many parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and diasporic communities worldwide.
The global response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will require talented individuals able to demonstrate both linguistic and intercultural skills. Our course will equip you with the ability to navigate this challenging environment with confidence.
This course – and the unique experience of living abroad – will equip you with the knowledge, skills and intercultural awareness necessary to pursue a wide range of exciting global careers.
The School of Languages, Cultures and Societies at Leeds is an exciting place for your undergraduate experience. Our diverse community of students and staff, student-led societies and outstanding pastoral support creates a friendly and dynamic atmosphere for all our students.
