Guided module choice and not-for-credit modules 

If you aren't studying a language degree but would still like to experience learning Russian at university, you can do so through Languages for All. Languages for All is a university-wide scheme for all students wishing to develop foreign language skills, either by learning a new language from scratch, or continuing to build on existing language experience. 

Undergraduate

If you have some experience of modern language learning, you can take Russian language and culture modules either as part of your degree (guided module choice) or alongside your degree (not-for-credit modules) as an extra-curricular activity.
