Course Summary

Learn two major world languages from beginner level while exploring Japanese and Russian history, culture and society. You’ll spend two years abroad, studying for a year in Japan and a year in Russia, developing your language proficiency and gaining first-hand experience of local culture. 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 and Russian from beginner level, but if you already have some knowledge of either language we can normally accommodate you. 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.
