This course is aimed at students who have

and forty contact hours of Russian (Russian

In other cases placement in this course is
based on an entrance assessment (written and
oral). Dates and times of the test will be advised
on the course application form. This course is
offered to learners who have a reasonable
knowledge of Russian grammar and some
communicative competence.
The course aims to develop students’
knowledge of Russian language and culture.
At the end of the course the students should

as well as literary texts, and to communicate
with native Russian speakers.
The class is held once a week for one and a
half hours. The total number of contact hours is

of the course students have an option of final
