Course summary

German and Russian cultures have influenced each other for several centuries through peaceful cultural exchange, migration and mobility, and war and conflict. Over one third of Europeans speak German as their first language, while around 150 million people in the world speak Russian. Through intensive language study, including time abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both languages on this flexible joint honours programme. Both languages are suitable for beginners. As well as your language classes, you will explore aspects of Russian-speaking (Russophone) and German-language culture from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Courses cover literature, film and theatre from Europe and beyond, studied in historical, political and social context.
