Russia is a major player in the global economy, with ties both to Europe and Asia, and beyond. › Russian writers, musicians and artists have made a considerable contribution to European culture; Russian history has helped shape Europe as we know it today. › Exploring Russia’s past and present helps understand the interaction between Europe’s eastern and western traditions. › In the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies we give students a considerable amount of individual attention and support. Our students are able to tailor the programme to develop their interests and skills. › You will find the Russian programme exciting and rewarding if you enjoy language study, are interested in unfamiliar cultures, have a sense of adventure and are not afraid of a challenge. Russian at Trinity › You will study Russian language from beginner level or continue your advanced level in a small group setting. › You will explore and engage with cultural, literary, social and political diversity in Russia and Eastern Europe. › You will have a life-changing opportunity to study abroad. › You will develop linguistic skills and intercultural competencies for a competitive advantage in the job market. Serious study of languages has never been more relevant. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it easier for companies and organisations to establish contact with foreign partners, further advancing globalisation, there is an increased need for high-level multilingual staff who can manage international teams, take legal responsibility for translations, and conduct multicultural negotiations. Ever advancing AI may indeed replace a basic command of a foreign language but highly fluent critical thinkers are, and will remain, in ever higher demand.
