Course Summary

In this five-year degree, you’ll learn two major world languages while exploring Japanese and Russian history, culture and society. Japan is one of the world’s biggest economies, home to a rich culture and a varied, changing society. Russia boasts a fascinating cultural and political history, and Russian is an important language for science and technology. Your fluency in both languages and international experience will give you outstanding opportunities for a global career. We teach Japanese from beginner level, although if you have some knowledge we can usually accommodate you. If you have A-level Russian or equivalent, this degree will develop your proficiency. You’ll spend two years abroad, studying for a year in Japan and another in Russia, gaining first-hand experience of the languages and local culture. Core modules will develop your language skills while optional modules allow you to choose the elements of Russian, Japanese and East Asian culture, history or politics that interest you.
