Overview

The Programme comprises original courses taught by leading Russian and international experts in education, language teaching, translation and interpreting, linguistics, philology, and intercultural communication. The courses are taught in English and in Russian. The specializations "Foreign Language Teaching" and "Intercultural Communication in a Global Communication Space" are taught exclusively in English, with the exception of courses in Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Chinese. Training in the programme involves undergraduates’ participation in research seminars and projects, which will give them the necessary academic and professional skills and knowledge that will prepare them to work in the specialization they choose.

The Programme offers a number of advantages, including balanced amalgamation of cutting-edge courses, most of which have no analogues in other Russian institutions, and various forms of practical application of knowledge and skills available for students; plus, project-based learning is a key element of the Programme. The Programme offers opportunities for students' domestic and international academic mobility.
