Russian and Slavonic Studies
About
View pages in this documentRussian and Slavonic Studies are taught in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures.
The University of Leeds has a long Russian Studies tradition; our area was founded in 1918. Whilst mindful of this tradition, we are pioneering a dynamic, twenty-first century approach to the subject, with a multi-media, cross-disciplinary teaching approach, led by our staff's latest research.
Community Spirit
We have a Russian Society which organises diverse activities such as a film club and social events, a student magazine and networking groups (SlavSoc on Facebook) and a Year Abroad blog which help to create an initimate and freindly atmosphere among students and staff. Events often take place in the German and Russian foyer, including a weekly social gathering with free coffee and cake!
