Teaching in the main language areas aims to provide students with an active use of the languages, a clear understanding of their linguistic structure and functioning, and an education in the history, social and political institutions and culture(s) of the area in question.
The aim of the professional subjects is to train students in:
Postgraduate Programmes The Postgraduate Diploma/MA in Russian Language and Society combines intensive study of the Russian language with analysis of socio-political and cultural developments in Post-communist Russia. It exists on two tracks. Track 1 is for graduates with a Russian degree who wish to combine advanced level language study with learning about Russian society and politics. Track 2 is for graduates without Russian seeking good working knowledge of the Russian language and specialised knowledge of Russian society and politics. From the autumn of 2000, we are offering a new Postgraduate Diploma/MA in European Politics, Business and Law. The focus is Europe in its broad contemporary environment, including its political, economic and legal integration. The programme will develop a coherent understanding of Europe's interrelated political, legal and economic structures and how they operate, be it in the internal workings of the EU, in Europe's role as an international actor or in transnational business activity across Europe.
