RUSSIAN FACULTY OF ARTS Russian
Our students stand out to employers across a wide range of sectors. Recent graduate destinations include Christie’s, the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce, the European Parliament and GCHQ.
Why study Russian at Bristol? Russia continues to assert itself as a powerful political and economic force and Russian expertise has never been more vital in a range of professions.
Our students consistently praise the friendly, supportive atmosphere in the Department of Russian. You will have frequent contact with experienced native-speaking teachers. In years one and two, beginners in Russian language follow a core programme with a specialist beginner-level teacher. Those with A-level or equivalent experience are taught separately.
Our first-year programme in Russian culture will equip you with the knowledge and skills to explore aspects of Russia in more depth later. You will study key periods in Russian history alongside selected texts, images or films, and will explore Russia through its literature, history, religious culture and political ideas. Your third year abroad could take you to places such as Moscow, St Petersburg, Krasnodar, the Urals, Siberia or Kazakhstan, with constant contact and support from members of the department.
Many of our graduates go on to careers in which their knowledge of Russian is of direct relevance. Recent graduates have entered careers in finance, industry, the media, publishing, law, travel, British and international civil services, teaching, translating or interpreting, and academia.
