Overview
Courses on the Russian and East European Studies course at the University of Oxford are taught through a combination of lectures and classes. You will be required to submit essays or equivalent written work and to make class presentations.
Russian language tuition
You will have the option to attend Russian language classes and sit a Russian language exam. The exam will not form part of your degree and will not appear on your official transcript. Russian classes will focus on the development of language and communication skills relevant to research and study in the REES field.REES Lectures and Seminar Series
REES students will have a weekly lecture, throughout the first two terms, delivered by a member of the department. Topics will include Twentieth Century Russian History, Central East European Politics, and Economics of the region. Students will also be required to participate in the departmental weekly seminar series, where they will get the opportunity to debate and discuss important topics concerning the region.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA).
In the case of students who require specific help to adjust to an academic programme or to a new range of skills, the supervisor will work with them to ensure that they have additional support.
Graduate destinations
A large proportion of REES graduates proceed to further research and to careers in academia. Graduates have also gone on to successful careers in many different countries in diverse areas of employment such as international organisations, the media, government, business and finance.
