Russia today is an increasingly influential figure on the world stage in terms of its politics, economics, art and culture. Russia is currently in a period of intriguing transition as it moves from the immediate post-Soviet period into an as-yet-unknown future. Knowledge of the mother tongue of over 150 million people, and the better understanding of history, people and culture which this ensures, have arguably therefore never been of greater importance to governments, businesses and private citizens.
The Department of Russian is a flourishing and active community with an intake of around 60 undergraduates each year. It enjoys an excellent reputation nationally, consistently being ranked amongst the top five departments of Russian in the UK. With six members of staff, including two native speakers, the Department has a proven track record of excellence in teaching and combines this with internationally recognised research in a range of fields. We are extremely proud of the calibre of our graduates who are sought out each year by a wide range of employers, including the civil service, financial institutions and NGOs, or who go on to further study.
