Bachelor’s Degree Program “BA in Russian Studies and Cross-Cultural Communication”/ «Лингвострановедение России»

What is the program about?
The program is designed to prepare future professionals in Russian Culture, History and Area Studies capable to communicate effectively in a cross-cultural environment in the changing world.

Starting their studies in English, students gradually acquire profound knowledge of the Russian language which becomes a key to the first-hand understanding of the country’s culture and values.

Linguistic terminology and specific language skills acquired by our students enable them to easily analyze and create professional and media texts, read “behind the lines” and deduce culturally marked background information.

Who can apply for the program?
English speaking students are invited to apply for the program, where they will gain skills to overcome cross cultural barriers and advance their knowledge in the field of Russian studies through learning and practical usage of the Russian language.

What are career opportunities of the program graduates?

The program graduates can work in business, government or industries as experts on Russian Culture and History. They can also specialize in translation and interpreting or teaching Russian as a foreign language. Research in Linguistics or Guiding Business are also the options. Internship is organized with MGIMO partners that function in banking, Oil and Gas, government and culture sectors.

Where is MGIMO-Odintsovo Campus located?
The Campus is situated to the West of Moscow, near Rublevka area, 35 min drive from the Center of Moscow in the ecologically friendly environment with a developed infrastructure. The outstanding most modern facilities of the Campus include an innovative Sports Complex and the Hotel.
