Content

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.
