Russian and Balkan Studies deals with the Eastern European countries and their social conditions, language, culture and history, and you learn either Russian or Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. You do not need to be proficient in an Eastern European language before you begin Russian and Balkan Studies. You begin with an introductory language course, which is called propaedeutic, where you build up the linguistic skills which you will require during the rest of your degree programme. You will study the region as a disciplinary whole: gaining expertise in culture, society, politics and history and acquiring important skills contributing towards future employability.
