The study of a language alongside History is highly complementary and an exciting way to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. Researching primary sources is a key feature of any History degree – studying Russian dramatically increases the range of primary sources that you will be able to access. The programme is also very flexible, allowing you to specialise as you progress. Acquire advanced language skills and a deep cultural understanding through true immersion on your Year Abroad. Please note: this programme will now operate under the title BA Modern Languages and History (R9V1) for September 2020 entry to reflect the naming convention used elsewhere in our Department. Please be assured, you will still have the option to study only Russian in combination with History.
