Around 150 million people in the world speak Russian, which plays an important role in global cultural and political contexts. It is the official language of four countries, is widely understood throughout Eastern Europe, and in the last thirty years has seen transnational mobility on an unprecedented scale.

Studying Russian and History helps you understand the contemporary world, as well as shedding light on the past.

On this joint honours programme, you will learn the Russian language alongside Russian literature and culture, as well as developing an awareness of Russia's political and historical contexts.

In History, you will study the human past more broadly, interacting with evidence in primary form, and through critical reading of a wide body of historical writing.
