The Russian language is taught to degree level. Emphasis is placed both on the acquisition of practical communication skills and on the understanding of a wide variety of spoken and written Russian.
Native speakers participate in the teaching of all honours language modules.
Cultural modules offer increasing specialisation. Module outlines can be found in the Russian Handbook .
