Program overview
The Russian Language and Literature program is about diving deep into the Russian language while studying Russia's literature, culture, and society. You'll not only learn to speak and write Russian fluently but also read works by great writers like Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, understanding the history and ideas behind them. Core courses include Basic Russian, Advanced Russian, Russian Grammar, History of Russian Literature, Overview of Russian-Speaking Countries, and Translation Theory and Practice. Some universities also offer practical courses like Russian Cinema, Russian News, and Business Russian. This program suits students who are sensitive to language and enjoy reading and thinking. If you're curious about Russian culture, art, and history, or want to be a bridge between China and Russia, it's a great fit. Many Chinese universities have long-standing Russian programs, such as Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, and Heilongjiang University, with strong faculty and abundant exchange programs and internship opportunities.
