Why study Russian here?
As the oldest Russian Studies program in Canada, we've been attracting students who want to study the language, history, literature and culture of Russia since 1944. Studying at ±«Óãtv opens a rich world of Russophone literature, art and music that is only partially and superficially available in English.
Our programs
In the Department of Russian Studies, you’ve got choice. Classes are open to students either as part of their study for a major or honours degree requirement in Russian Studies, with classes in another discipline for a combined honours degree, or as electives in any degree program.
