Description
Learn Russian and learn to communicate in one of the world's largest languages and take part in a rich culture that spans both centuries and continents!
This first beginner course does not require any previous knowledge of Russian. At the end of the course you have learned some basic grammatical rules in the Russian language and can communicate and understand simple everyday phrases in Russian. After completing this course, you will be eligible for the course RYSB02, Russian: beginners course II. The course is based on a study of simplified dialogues and texts in Russian with elementary vocabulary and basic grammatical structures. You also do simple writing exercises and participate in short role-plays of an everyday nature. Furthermore, Russian pronunciation and oral skills are trained in connection with exercises in listening comprehension, pronunciation and conversation.
By studying Russian at the Centre for Languages and Literature, you will first and foremost improve your practical skills in the Russian language, but you will also be able to acquaint yourself with Russian culture, society and history. With knowledge of Russian you profile yourself in a tough labour market and get a competence that is attractive to many employers, not least in view of the security policy-tightened situation we are currently seeing developing in the Baltic Sea region.
This is a distance learning course using the learning platform Canvas, with online lectures over Zoom. You need access to a computer with internet connection, webcam, and a headset throughout the semester.
The course has an online invigilator monitored exam. During the exam, you must ensure that you have a stable internet connection, a webcam, a microphone, and speakers (headset or earbuds are not allowed during exams). You must also have access to an additional device (preferably a smartphone) with a camera and access to the Zoom app as well as an app for scanning documents.

How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
