• This course combines politics and international relations with the study of Russian, a language of strategic importance spoken by people across several countries and large diasporic communities, including in the UK. This provides a valuable skill set, ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.
  • Students will study the politics of individual countries and governments and the relationships between countries, communities, and individuals.
  • Politics is organized around three themes:
  • political theory
  • comparative and national politics
  • international relations.
  • Students will follow a structured language course in Russian, as well as explore the rich literature, cinema, history, thought, politics, religion, and visual culture of Russian-speaking countries and communities. You will spend your third year abroad in a Russian-speaking country, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Global Opportunities.
