Promoting an understanding of Russia that fully recognises its role as a global power; King's Russian Institute coordinates and develops research capabilities and programmes of study, while also building links with Russian organisations in education, the cultural and creative sectors, business and government.


In our MSc programme, Russian Politics & Society, students will unpack the challenges of political, economic and social change that have built contemporary Russia since 1985, while engaging directly with practitioners from government, diplomacy, finance, industry, the media, NGOs, cultural organisations and other important fields of interest. Alongside that training, students will select a field for more in-depth policy-relevant research in domestic or foreign policy, gaining strong disciplinary training in a field of the social sciences or humanities through a combination of Russia-focused and comparative options, culminating in an original dissertation research project. Fields on offer include energy and natural resources, trade, development, domestic and international security, law, social policy, media and culture, and history, among others.


Who is this course for?

The MSc in Russian Politics and Society provides students with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to analyze a broad range of contemporary Russian policy challenges in applied settings. The programme will appeal to graduates of programmes of Russian/Slavonic studies and European, energy or security studies, as well as those on other programmes who have developed an interest in Russia within those contexts and/or who anticipate a career involving work in or about Russia.

Location

London’s most central university, with four river-side campuses in a single square mile in the heart of London. The campuses are located either side of the Thames – Strand, Waterloo, Guy’s and further south, Denmark Hill. The college is associated with four great hospitals of Guy's and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital and South London and the Maudsley. 

The Faculty's London-based departments are at the Strand and Waterloo campuses. Most buildings at the Strand Campus overlook the Thames, midway between the Houses of Parliament and St Paul's Cathedral, next door to Somerset House and the Courtauld Institute of Art, close to the Royal Courts of Justice. Within five minutes' walk of the Strand are Covent Garden, many West End theatres, and Trafalgar Square, home to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.

The Waterloo Campus is next to London's South Bank arts and cultural quarter which includes the National Film Theatre and BFI Southbank, the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre. Three minutes walk away is Waterloo Station.
