Russian Studies and Spanish
Master of Arts (with Honours) - MA (Hons)The University of Edinburgh
Course details
Course description
This joint honours programme is your opportunity to study two of the world's most widely spoken languages in their global cultural contexts.
Between them, Russian and Spanish are spoken by over 500 million people. Beyond Europe, Spanish is spoken in many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, while both languages have growing numbers of speakers in the United States and China.
No previous knowledge of either language is needed. Through intensive language study, including time abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both Russian and Spanish.
In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of Russophone and Spanish-speaking cultures. Courses cover literature, film and theatre from around the world, studied in historical, political and social context.
