Course summary
This degree combines philosophy with the study of Russian. Russian is a language of strategic importance spoken by people across several countries and large diasporic communities, including in the UK. The course provides a valuable skill set, ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. For philosophy, you will study units covering an introduction to philosophy, logic, and realism and normativity. You will follow a structured language course in Russian, as well as explore the rich literature, cinema, history, thought, politics, religion, and visual culture of Russian-speaking countries and communities. You will spend your third year abroad in a country where Russian is widely spoken, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Global Opportunities (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/global-opportunities/go-abroad/). Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, which results in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond to new research. This course combination offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and a range of options that will allow you to pursue your own interests. Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations. Our course will ensure you practise a range of skills, which will make you attractive to future employers in the sector of your choice. Russian can be studied from beginners' level and post-A level (or equivalent). As a modern languages student, you will have access to our state-of-the-art Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers, and talent shows.
