The courses taken by Swansea students at MIPT have been specifically designed for them with the participation of the staff of the Department of Russian, which only the long-standing association between the two institutions has made possible. Accommodation is provided in a hostel belonging to MIPT in the Ziuzino district of south-west Moscow. Students are taught in seminar rooms located in the hostel, which ensures that no time is lost in travel between home and study. The centre of the city can easily be reached by Metro. It might finally be noted that an important part of the courses is the cultural programme that is built into them.
Students are also able to take advantage of breaks in the courses to travel extensively.
The conditions at MIPT are such that it is very easy to make friends with Russians who are more than willing to show them their country. It is hoped that the College's association with MIPT will continue to flourish.
