Bachelor of Arts (Russian Studies)

Develop an ability to communicate in the Russian language that will help enhance your understanding of the Russian-speaking culture, values and world. Russian is one of the world's major international languages: it is spoken by over 140 million people and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. Gaining skills in the Russian language is a truly valuable asset to any workplace - especially given Russia’s prominence on the world stage. With an ability to communicate in another language, you could find yourself working in international trade, where you’ll be trusted to carry out important deals. Or, you could facilitate important communications between multinational organisation through a role in diplomacy or business. You could also enter into the fields of teaching or translation, using your fluency for education or interpretation and even the arts.
