Our exciting four-year Russian and Linguistics BA allows you to study two different but complementary areas of interest. No prior knowledge of Russian is required. Studying Russian means engaging deeply with a new language, in conjunction with an exploration of Russia’s culture, society, and history. You’ll develop a sophisticated understanding of the way Russians think and feel and the cultural references that shape their identities. You could find yourself recording dialect speakers, working out the rules of an endangered language or learning how to write down a sneeze. You’ll spend your third year abroad, an exceptional opportunity to develop your language skills through immersion and boost your intercultural competence.
