Long-Term Russian Course (12+ weeks)

Who it’s for

This course is for students who need to reach a specific level of Russian by a set date and have at least 12 weeks to study. It is especially valuable for future university students who must meet the Russian language requirement before their degree begins.

A longer stay means you are not just studying Russian — you are living it. Outside the classroom, immersion continues through our Speaking Club, excursions and cultural and social events. You can also opt to stay with a host family and use Russian every day at home. Course levels and recommended timelines are set out in the table below.

How you’ll study

Lessons are built around the needs of long-term students, with a strong focus on speaking in real-life situations. New grammar and vocabulary are practised in meaningful contexts through communicative tasks, so you use what you learn rather than simply memorise it.

Our teachers follow a communicative approach, developing all four skills in every lesson: speaking, reading, writing and listening. This gives you steady, balanced progress across practical Russian throughout the course.
