Overview

Russian culture is explored from a variety of perspectives. Students specialise in literature and culture, social sciences or history, or combine modules into an interdisciplinary programme.

They are encouraged to develop their research skills, and many choose to learn Russian, or improve their command of Russian, through a language course. The Russian Studies MA programme is offered at the University College London (UCL).
