As a nation with a varied and tumultuous history, Russia has a long-standing reputation of being a mysterious land characterised by development through mass industrialisation, a Marxist style revolution, and isolationism. Since the fall of Communism Russia’s role in world has dramatically changed as the nation has fostered economic, diplomatic and political links with the rest of the world, and Russian graduates today are able to acquire a range of valuable skills that are increasingly in demand.
Students taking this course are offered the opportunity to learn the Russian language in all its complexities, while also being invited to understand and explore the rich history and culture of this Eastern nation. Some of the specialist modules on offer give insight into Russian philosophy, literature, or specific historical periods.
Language teaching is delivered by native speakers with language classes tailored to suit the level of the class, with appropriate classes offered for students with no prior knowledge of Russian, as well as classes for those with some knowledge. Beginners are typically given intensive language training, where they are given an overview of grammar and sentence structure, as well as being given an introduction to oral communication in Russian.
At the end of the initial year, students will have developed their basic skills in grammar, translation, writing and speaking; subsequent modules focus on spoken fluency and honing essay-writing skills. As a core element of the course and of the student’s learning process, Russian students spend one year of their course abroad where they are encouraged to undertake work or study, while they immerse themselves in the local culture.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Zoologists undertaking research in universities usually specialise in one of the many branches of zoology. Zoologists study animal evolution, ecology, genetics, behaviour, development and physiology. They have detailed knowledge of subjects like cell biology and genetics, and their work is used to enable advances in areas such as medicine, environmental protection and conservation, agriculture and aquaculture, and marine biology. Work might include the development and testing of new drugs, improving agricultural crops and livestock, disease and pest control, conservation of endangered habitats and species, and animal welfare and education. Work for governmental agencies may include developing policies and enforcing regulations. While there are many of us who ‘like animals’ anyone considering studying Zoology, and building and career in the field after graduation, will need to be driven as much by a passion for Biology as they are for wildlife watching. Very much a science-based course, you will need to have a grasp of the methodical research practices, which lay behind a thorough understanding of the animal kingdom. You will also need to have an interest in conducting ‘hands on’, field-based research, as many courses will include an element of this type of study. Bearing that in mind, Zoology could provide the perfect fit for anyone who is fascinated by the physical world and has a particular interest in all creatures great and small. From the tiniest mammal to the biggest predator, each animal adds something unique to the complex systems that structure our world. Zoology is the ideal fit for anyone inspired by finding out exactly what.
Employers of zoologists include universities and government research institutions, the NHS and medical research establishments, water authorities, zoos and wildlife trusts, and environmental protection agencies with museums or other cultural organisations, or move into other jobs such as management, marketing, sales or scientific journalism.

This subject is for the religious and non-religious because the academic study of religion is interesting for anyone who wishes to be better informed about the world and to understand human beliefs as well as cultural differences. It will also increase your aptitude for information and your debating skills.
These degrees help students to understand the role of religion in local and global situations.
Most university courses will always cover at least Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism and will explore scripture, ways of life, religious belief, language, individual lives, communities, arts and culture. Generally, the first year of university study will be an overview of religion in the world and will give students an insight into the bible and how to approach reading it. The course enables you to improve your linguistic ability by taking up one language, which could be a classic, ancient language and to use this to critique biblical passages.
The course is generally three years but four years in Scotland.
Applications need a varying level of grades depending on the institution. At Manchester BBB, Durham AAB, Exeter AAB, Chichester CCC
You can study at Cambridge, Durham and Aberdeen. However, Exeter came top for student satisfaction, . theology-specific opportunities in teaching and the church, but theology graduates can find themselves in any number of careers, from management to the media.

Live performance is still heralded today as delivering a uniquely experience to the spectator. In an age where technology plays an increasingly greater role in the entertainment industry, the experience of dramatic theatre is still unrivalled. The BA in Theatre provides an essential overview of theatre production processes in a modern context. It is ideal for students looking to pursue careers in the entertainment and live production industries.
In contemporary performance, the roles of actor, producer, performer, director and playwright have become interdependent and linked to the extent that all participants work collaboratively to produce the creativity and structure that enables theatre production. For this reason, students can expect to receive training in the basics of acting, directing and theatre production, as well as being given a theoretical background through their engagement in the structural analysis of dramatic literature (with an emphasis on plays).
Students can also explore technical elements relating to the production of drama, through modules which explore the methods, materials and equipment (costumes, light and sound technology, and construction of scenery) used in theatre. For those wanting to pursue diverse interests over the duration of this course, the course allows flexibility in modular options, with some taking a focus on musical theatre; theatre in different cultures; the history of theatre throughout the ages; modern dance and theatre; and other options. As a core aim, theatre students develop their acting skills to a mature and professional level, with emphasis given on essential components such as vocal training (voice control and projection), improvisation, physical expression and movement.

The ongoing presence of Spanish as a global language and culture is an indisputable reality in the modern world. As a language, Spanish is one of the most prominently-spoken in various world regions today. The BA in Spanish is aimed at students with a basic or intermediate level of understanding of this European language, and helps them develop their linguistic abilities to an advanced level of comprehension and proficiency. Early modules provide an overview of core grammatical and linguistic rules, and an interactive approach to basic Spanish speech and writing. Further modules encourage development of vocabulary and sentence structure, and improve skills in reading and writing. As a component of this course, students are expected to develop an essential knowledge basis in understanding Spanish culture through examining the cultural context of language; the study of Spanish and South-American literature and culture; as well as overviews of Spanish-influenced civilisations such as the Iberian civilisation and Afro-Hispanic civilisation. At the intermediate level, an elaborated review of grammar is taught along with composition practice, thereafter students learn to apply their newfound knowledge to verbal communication which is achieved through conversation practice. The course provides and additional focus on oral comprehension in the form of learning to understand and apply Spanish idioms and expressions in conversation. The course provides an opportunity for language students to spend part of the course abroad, thus immersing themselves in the Spanish language and culture. This course thus aims to equip students with a good level of oral and written fluency in Spanish, as well as an understanding of Spanish historical and cultural influences.
