Course summary

Shifting regional dynamics and Russia’s changing geopolitical role mean there is a demand for expertise in this area. Study with us to develop your skills as a communicator, cultural authority, and savvy business professional. Our business modules make up about a quarter of our programme – you’ll learn about financial management, marketing, strategy and human resources then spend the rest of the time exploring Russian language, culture and society. We’re experts in translation and act as consultants on historical films and exhibitions. Unpicking Russian as a modern language means we also inform conversations on issues around politics and the environment. We have links with cultural industries and art institutions in Russia including Garage Centre for Contemporary Art, as well as across the EU and UK.

From the Civil Service to NGOs, our graduates use their degrees in a whole host of roles. Whatever you decide is next for you, you’ll be ready to impress at interviews.
