Department of Slavonic Studies
Part II
Russian course in the fourth year
All students in Part II must offer two language papers, an oral examination, three scheduled papers (which may not include a paper offered in Part IB), and a Year Abroad Project (a Dissertation or a Translation Project). The overall structure of Part II is described in the MML Tripos Introduction.It is possible to take all three scheduled papers from one language-area, or to spread them over as many as three different language areas. If you are offering your language papers in Russian, at least one of your scheduled papers will have to be Russian, and it is advisable for at least one other of them to have a Slavonic component: the books that you read will feed into your language-work, helping your fluency in reading and writing, and extending your vocabulary.
'You may also choose from two scheduled papers in Ukrainian: Paper Uk1, An Introduction to the Language, Literature, and Culture of Ukraine, and Paper Uk2, Studies in Twentieth-Century Ukrainian Literature and Film.

Students also offer the Russian Oral C.
