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 are native speakers of German, while around 150 million people in the world speak Russian.

Through intensive language study, including a year abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both languages on this joint honours programme.

In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of 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 a historical, political and social context.
