“The course was really helpful. Initially I had no confidence in my ability to present and I was feeling very nervous. I quickly realised that I could do it as the trainer showed us how to create a structure and then to use a story to bring it alive. I’ve since gone on to become a very confident presenter”.

• eye contact
• facial expressions
• base position
• arm movements
• appropriate movements

Then the audience will consider how you sound. Are you credible, enthusiastic, professional? Included in this are:

• pace and rate of speech
• articulation
• effective pausing

You will need to consider your goals throughout which will lead to your structure.

Russian Studies BA

Russian and contemporary chinese studies ba, russian studies with foundation year ba, modern languages ba, modern european studies ba, modern language studies ba, modern languages with business ba, modern languages with translation ba, history and east european cultural studies ba, what is russian and slavonic studies.

Russian is one of the world’s major languages, spoken by 280 million people, used widely in the other countries of the former Soviet Union as well as in Russia itself. Expertise in the Russian language, especially when combined with a deep understanding of Russia’s history, culture and society, has never been more vital for careers in sectors including government, diplomacy, international business and non-governmental organisations. 

Russian and Slavonic studies at Nottingham encompasses an exceptionally broad programme of study across two main language areas, Russian and Serbian/Croatian, with options also to learn Slovene as a second or third Slavonic language. Russian can be studied from beginners’ level and post GCSE/AS, as well as post-A level. We teach Serbian/Croatian from beginners’ level to degree level. Our modules on Russian society, culture and language span the medieval period to the 21st century, and our students can choose to specialise in topics in history, cinema, literature and cultural studies. Students can also opt to take modules in South-East European cultures and histories.

Russian studies can be taken as a single honours subject or as a joint honours subject with another modern language, and as a joint honours subject with history; it is also available in the degree Economics with Russian. Serbian/Croatian can be studied as a joint honours subject alongside Russian, and students on Russian Studies single honours degree who opt to study Serbian/Croatian from year one or two have the exciting opportunity to graduate in Russian with Serbian/Croatian.

Both Russian and Serbian/Croatian are offered within Modern Languages Studies, Modern European Studies, Modern Languages with Translation and Modern Languages with Business. History and East European Cultural Studies is a three-year joint honours course with no compulsory language study, focusing on the histories, literatures and cultures of the region. 

How will I study?

Depending on your choice of course, you will combine time working on your language or languages with the study of aspects of Russian and East European societies and cultures. Language classes cover reading, writing, speaking and listening, with an interactive approach to learning and consolidating grammar. Many of your classes will be with native speakers of the relevant language, and oral classes are kept very small to give every student the opportunity to practise their speaking skills and build confidence.

Modules on topics in history, cultural studies, film and literature are taught in lectures and smaller group seminars, supported by our virtual learning environment. As well as learning about the specific topics in hand you will also benefit from training in the key skills needed for undergraduate study, such as research and essay writing.  

Assessment is through coursework and exams. The first year is a qualifying year; only the grades from your second and final years count towards your degree.

Employability

Studying languages can open up a world of opportunities. From banking to charities and from teaching to MI5, businesses and organisations across the globe seek to employ language specialists.

During this degree you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of modules, allowing you to tailor your studies around personal interests. In doing so you’ll start to identify potential career paths and begin to discover your areas of professional interest.

In addition to language skills, you’ll develop transferable skills highly sought after by employers such as confident communication skills, strict attention to detail and the ability to work within different cultures and organisational styles.

78.9% of undergraduates from the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures secured graduate level employment or further study within 15 months of graduation. The average annual salary for these graduates was £24,904.*

*HESA Graduate Outcomes 2019/20 data published in 2022. The Graduate Outcomes % is derived using The Guardian University Guide methodology. The average annual salary is based on graduates working full-time within the UK.

Study abroad

The staff of Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of Nottingham would like to express their deep concern over the Russian invasion of Ukraine as an act of aggression against a sovereign country. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people and everybody who is affected by Putin's war on Ukraine, including our students in the UK as well as our friends and colleagues in Slavonic countries. In these dark times, we remain committed to the close personal and intellectual links with our Ukrainian and Russian colleagues, friends and relatives who oppose Putin’s war.

Year Abroad

The current conflict in Ukraine means that, like other UK institutions, the university is unable to send students to Russia for their year abroad at the moment, and so we are pursuing other options for language courses in neighbouring countries (e.g. Estonia and Latvia) and where Russian is used by a native speaking community, and/or online if necessary. This is the approach being taken by other UK universities offering degrees in Russian.

We expect that students will still undertake a period of time abroad during their degree, and are confident that alternative options will meet the learning needs of students, providing them with ample opportunity to develop their language and intercultural skills.

We will of course keep the situation under regular review over the coming months and will keep students updated about their year abroad options throughout their university career.

Read the University’s statement on the position in Ukraine .

Application and interview

Offers are usually made without interview. Students with non-standard entry requirements, including mature students, may be invited to an interview.

Open days are a great way to learn more about your course, meet academics and chat to students. They also help you to get a feel for the place, so that you can decide whether life as a Nottingham student is right for you.

Ukraine war latest: Ukraine sacks commander amid fierce battles with Russian forces; Putin reshuffle 'may hint he is preparing for future confrontation with NATO'

Russia has been increasingly carrying out off-road motorbike attacks under the cover darkness, according to British intelligence.

Lighter, faster, all-terrain vehicles have highly likely been used since the start of this year to hit Ukrainian positions, transport personnel to the frontlines and conduct reconnaissance, the UK defence ministry has said.

It said Russia reportedly purchased 2,100 Chinese off-road vehicles named Desertcross 1000-3, some of which were personally inspected by Vladimir Putin in November.

"Since the start of 2024, Russia has highly likely increased its use of light vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles and off-road motorbikes, to transport personnel to the frontlines and conduct attacks on Ukrainian positions, particularly at night."

But the army has sacrificed armour and firepower for mobility, with light vehicles "far more vulnerable than their armoured counterparts", the UK MoD said.

Ukrainian drones have "already demonstrated their ability to effectively target" the vehicles, it added.

As we covered in some detail here earlier this year, Sweden dropped more than two centuries of historic neutrality by joining NATO.

The Baltic Sea, which includes maritime access to the Russian city of St Petersburg and the Kaliningrad enclave, is now almost surrounded by members of the alliance.

Today, Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson said Nordic and Baltic cooperation was "deeper than at any time in modern times", underpinned by increasing security threats from Russia.

He is hosting German chancellor Olaf Scholtz and the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland in Stockholm, with security policy and NATO's July summit in Washington topping the agenda.

"We have long appreciated our neighbours, but at the same time underestimated the importance of concrete, operational cooperation," Mr Kristersson wrote in an op-ed in Swedish business paper Dagens Industri.

Meanwhile, the three Baltic prime ministers have been meeting in Lithuania to reaffirm that Moscow's intimidation is not going to dissuade them from supporting Ukraine.

Estonia's prime minister Kaja Kallas said that "Russia has also intensified the shadow war against all of European countries. It wants to really scare and intimidate the free world to scare us away from helping Ukraine".

"We shouldn't be scared," she added.

With a second front opening in the war and a surprise reshuffle in Vladimir Putin's cabinet, it's been an important week for the war in Ukraine.

Readers have been sending in their questions to our senior correspondents and military experts for their take on the changing battlefield environment.

Today, Jeanie asked:

Is Russia taking advantage and conducting an offensive in the border region due to the fact that several Western countries don't allow their weapons to be used on Russian soil?

Military analyst Sean Bell had this to say...

Thanks, Jeanie, for this very topical question.

Russia claims to have seized nine border settlements as part of a major offensive in the Kharkiv region. Although Ukraine has known for months that Russia was amassing military forces in the region - between 30,000 to 50 000 troops - the scale and ferocity of the attack appears to have caught Ukraine by surprise.

Although only Vladimir Putin and his senior military leadership will know the details of Russia's military strategy, most military analysts believe that Russia does not have the military resources to mount a significant and enduring second front without compromising the offensive in the Donbas - widely believed to be Russia's main effort.

However, Putin is well aware that Russia has a window of opportunity to capitalise on Ukraine's shortage of weapons, and by opening a second front, it forces Ukraine to spread its resources even more thinly, leaving Ukraine more vulnerable on the frontline in the Donbas.

Russia's military objectives for this new offensive appear to be to create a "buffer zone" to protect the Russian border town of Belgorod. This logistics hub for the Russian military effort is just within artillery range of Ukraine, and Putin has long promised to push the Ukrainian forces outside artillery range - around 30km. 

In addition, Russia wants to threaten Kharkiv, so it's pushing forward to enable its own artillery to be within range of this major Ukrainian city.

Moving large quantities of military personnel and equipment from the frontline cannot easily be done discreetly - which under normal circumstances would leave Russian forces vulnerable to Ukrainian attack. 

However, in an effort to limit the potential for escalation, the West has precluded the use of Western-provided weapons to target Russian forces on Russian territory. This significantly limits Ukraine's ability to target Russia's forces as they prepare for a fresh offensive.

However, although we can speculate on Putin's objectives, a battlefield is a dynamic environment, and Russia has considerable forces in reserve to capitalise on any momentum achieved during its current offensive.

Vladimir Putin's surprise choice of new defence minister Andrei Belousov has been speaking to a parliamentary committee as part of his confirmation process.

In his first public comments since being appointed to the post, he called for greater care for soldiers, including better access to housing, hospitals and welfare benefits. 

State media quoted him as saying there was too much bureaucracy surrounding the payment of benefits to military personnel. 

"I think it's a mess when participants in the special military operation who come back on holiday are driven from civilian medical institutions to hospitals which are often simply overcrowded. This issue needs to be resolved," Mr Belousov said.

The comments appeared to be aimed at demonstrating to members of the armed forces that he understands their concerns and will work to improve their conditions. 

In recent days, some German politicians have been calling for a no-fly zone over Ukraine enforced by NATO.

A German government spokesperson has rejected the notion, saying its stance has not changed since the alliance last denied the request.

"We rejected that at the time and I think the same applies to the different requests that are now being made," the spokesperson said.

NATO rejected a Ukrainian request for the no-fly zone in March 2022, days after Russia's invasion began.

At the time, secretary general Jens Stoltenberg justified the decision on the basis that "we are not part of this conflict".

"We have a responsibility as NATO allies to prevent this war from escalating beyond Ukraine," he said.

Vladimir Putin's cabinet reshuffle could indicate he is preparing for any future confrontation with NATO, according to a US thinktank.

The replacement of defence minister Sergei Shoigu strongly suggests he is preparing the economy and military-industrial complex for a protracted war with Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War says.

The ISW's analysis is based on the appointment of Adrei Belousov to the post - an economist with no military experience.

He has a reputation for being an effective technocrat who has been charged with integrating Russia's defence industrial base into wider domestic policy, the ISW says.

"These high-level reshuffles following the Russian presidential election strongly suggest that Putin is taking significant steps towards mobilising the Russian economy and defence industrial base to support a protracted war in Ukraine and possibly prepare for a future confrontation with NATO."

Mr Belousov has been focused on technological innovation and drone output, which is "likely to be extremely valuable to the Kremlin".

"The Kremlin has recently had to reckon with a gap between Russian drone production and contemporary battlefield realities," the ISW says.

Ukraine has sacked the commander responsible for Kharkiv, military command has said.

Nazar Voloshyn told RBC-Ukraine media a decision was made on Saturday to appoint Brigadier General Mykhailo Drapatyi to the position.

The day before, Russia launched an incursion across Ukraine's northeastern border into the Kharkiv region.

One soldier blamed poor fortifications at the border, telling Sky News the Russian army walked "freely" across it.

Fighting continues in villages nearby, with the region's governor warning earlier this morning that it could spread to new areas.

Away from the frontline and Russia's internal politics, Georgians have been protesting against what they say are Russian-style, autocratic laws.

Non-violent protests were attacked by police snatch squads, seizing demonstrators and beating them.

International affairs editor Dominic Waghorn reports from the crowd... 

The governor of the Kharkiv region has said there is a threat of fighting spreading to other settlements.

Russian forces have been attacking the border in small groups in an attempt to stretch the frontline, Oleh Syniehubov said.

The situation was difficult, he added.

On Friday, Russia launched an incursion across Ukraine's northeastern border into the Kharkiv region.

Mr Syniehubov has described "massive shelling" of the town of Vovchansk, with attacks also on other Kharkiv settlements like Lukyantsi and Bugruvatkata.

Some 5,762 people have been evacuated, he said.
