Introduction
Because it is one of the world’s most important languages. About 153 million people speak Russian as their native tongue, Russian is the third most widely spoken European language after English and Spanish, and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. More science materials are printed in Russian than in any other language except English.
Russian A level combines well with courses in other languages, English, Business, Politics, Economics, Computing or Philosophy. It is also particularly valuable for scientists who seek to enhance their employability. Knowledge of Russian may also provide you with entry qualifications to a degree course in Slavonic Studies, Linguistics or Interpreting.
In general, the skills that you acquire during a Russian A level course (communication, the ability to form independent judgements, to write a well-organised essay) will be useful to you whatever you go on to do. With broadening economic, political and cultural contacts between Russia and other countries, knowledge of Russian language can greatly extend your employment potential and improve your prospects of success.
