Course summary

This wide-ranging joint honours programme enables you to study two different European languages in their global cultural contexts. Both languages are among the 10 most widely spoken in the world and have had a profound international cultural influence. Through intensive language study, including time abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both French and Russian. In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of French-speaking (francophone) and Russian-speaking (Russophone) cultures from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Courses cover literature and cinema, political history, social movements and philosophical ideas.


Why Edinburgh?

Our programme is flexible. In Years 1 and 2, as well as your core subjects, you will choose option courses from a wide range of disciplines. You will then specialise as you progress through your honours years. When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education in the arts and humanities, and specialist knowledge of two modern languages, valued by employers worldwide.
