Economics/Russian - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

In studying economics you will learn how individuals and society make choices about how scarce resources are used, what products are produced and who gets to consume them. These choices depend on evaluating costs, benefits, risks and effects on others. 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.

You will gain a deep understanding of how markets function and you will have the opportunity to explore fields such as government policy, developing countries, the economics of business and international trade and finance.
