Approximately 150 million people worldwide speak Russian, serving as an official language in four countries and maintaining a strong presence in Eastern Europe and beyond, with significant communities in regions like China, Central Asia, the United States, and Western Europe. This joint honours programme offers a flexible opportunity to explore Russian language, literature, culture, politics, and history, alongside the evolution of English. Through intensive Russian studies, students develop advanced skills in speaking, writing, reading, listening, and translating, with courses tailored to all levels, including beginners.In parallel, English Language studies cover theoretical linguistics, language acquisition, regional and social variations—particularly in English—and communication methods. Students may also opt for Scots language, enriching their understanding of linguistic diversity. Relevant courses include the speech sounds of global languages and worldwide language variations, fostering skills as effective communicators, resilient problem solvers, and culturally open individuals. Graduates gain a valued combination of broad cultural knowledge and specialised expertise for global employers.
