The School of Language Studies offers two later-year web-based courses in reading Russian.

These courses have a firm focus on reading in the areas of interest to the students, to the exclusion of oral skills. They are intended primarily to meet the needs of research students at the postgraduate level, but will be made available to later-year undergraduates, especially those in Honours programs. It is also intended that they should be open to students at other tertiary institutions through cross-institutional enrolment, and as non-degree courses.

Students in many academic disciplines such as history, geography, zoology, political science, economics, sociology, linguistics, music, anthropology, archaeology and ethnography and other disciplines, whose studies deal with Russia or the former Soviet Union will find these courses useful. Others, whose interests may not include Russia as such, often find that much of the scholarly literature in their field exists only in Russian. They may find that without knowledge of the language they are denied access to a vast range of source material and that their projects are hardly feasible.
