Students can take Russian as an Arts subject to advanced levels. Graduate supervision is the Department s special strength. Students can also take Russian alongside a Law or Commerce degree. The Department enjoys some of the best Russian library and TV facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. It also has extensive contacts with local Slavonic communities.
Students have the opportunity to take part in study abroad programmes.
Each year several students participate in such programmes in Moscow, Petersburg or other Russian cities. The Department provides a friendly learning environment. Small classes mean staff and students get to know each other.
