Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - European and Russian Studies (Optional Co-op)

The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to the study of Europe, Russia and Eurasia.

In third or fourth year, students may choose to take part in an academic exchange in a European country or in Russia and/or co-op employment.
