Course Overview

Birmingham’s fusion of language and culture places employability at its heart, preparing you to live and work as an engaged citizen of the world.

Learning Russian from beginner or advanced level alongside International Relations is highly complementary and an exciting way to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. Western businesses are investing in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and need employees who can both speak the language and understand the history, politics and culture of the region.

  • The International Baccalaureate Diploma

  • SQA Highers and Advanced Highers (many programmes will accept Highers without additional Advanced Highers)

  • The Irish Leaving Certificate Higher Level

  • The European Baccalaureate
