Learning a new language can be challenging. But, with support from qualified Russian tutors, you’ll quickly master everyday conversation. Taught in the evenings at our London university campus, our interactive short courses are designed to easily squeeze into your schedule.
Whether you want to explore basic topics with other beginners or join us at a more advanced level, we have a part-time course for you. Each level is made up of three parts which gradually explore more complex topics and grammar.
When do you want to start? Join us at City in October, January or April/May. It’s also your choice whether you enrol on each part separately or commit to the full year to secure the best price.
