Overview

Language study offers much more than just language fluency. You'll explore diverse aspects of the culture, society, history, politics and literature of Russia, helping you to develop intercultural awareness and communication skills - both highly valued by employers.

With placement options available at partner universities and in professional environments in Russia, a compulsory third year abroad gives our undergraduate students unforgettable and invaluable personal and professional experience.

Career opportunities

A degree in Russian Studies from The University of Manchester paves the way for an exceptionally broad range of careers. You will develop intercultural awareness and communication skills - both highly valued by employers.

This will open up numerous paths with an international dimension (eg business and finance). You will also have excellent all-round communication skills, making you a strong contender for openings in the media, PR and similar areas.

Many of our graduates go straight into business services, marketing, advertising, management, banking or communications. Others opt for postgraduate study or further vocational training to become accountants, lawyers, teachers (in the UK or abroad) or enter the Civil Service.
