3.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Politics and Russian (Sandwich)

Program Description Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career. Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol. The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities. This course combines politics and international relations with the study of Russian. This provides a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. Students will study the politics of individual countries and governments, and the relationships between countries, communities, and individuals.

Politics is organised around three themes: • political theory • comparative and national politics • international relations.

In Russian students will study a combination of language and culture units, introducing them to a linguistic and cultural tradition spanning some of Europe's most important writers, literary and cinematic developments and ideological trends. Students will spend their third year abroad, which will enable them to refine language skills and cultural knowledge and gain valuable work experience. For further details on year abroad opportunities please see the Global Opportunities website. Both schools encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond in their teaching to new research. This course combination offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges.
