Master of Arts in Russian Studies and Linguistics
Program Overview
Around 150 million people in the world speak Russian. It is the official language of four countries, is widely understood throughout Eastern Europe, and in the last thirty years has seen transnational mobility on an unprecedented scale.
Russian Studies and Linguistics make an excellent joint honours choice by combining the study of:
- A modern language in its cultural context
- The expression and creation of meaning, and how language works
Linguistics courses of particular relevance to language students cover:
- The speech sounds of the world's languages
- Variation in the languages of the world
- The structure and history of world languages
When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education and specialist knowledge valued by employers worldwide.
Russian
Study Russian with us, and you will learn the language alongside Russian literature and culture, as well as develop an awareness of Russia's political and historical contexts.
Our Year 1 courses are streamed according to how much Russian you already know, so it does not matter if you are a complete beginner.
Intensive language tuition will teach you how to read, write and speak the language to a high standard, including in translation.
Linguistics
Linguistics examines how language works, describing how sounds, words, sentences and conversations combine to express and create meaning.
You will also study:
- The uses of language in everyday life
- The ways in which it varies across society and evolves over time
- How it is mastered by children
As you progress through the programme, you will have the opportunity to plan and test scientific hypotheses about linguistic phenomena using specialist linguistics and phonetics equipment.
