Russia was one of the most significant cultural and political forces of the 20th century, not to mention in earlier times, and will undoubtedly continue to play a major role in 21st century culture, history and politics. Russian currently ranks fifth in the number of speakers worldwide and is one of the six official languages of the UN.
Spanish is one of the world’s major languages, with speakers in 21 countries; Spain itself has the fifth largest population in the European Union. Because of its importance commercially, and as a language of cultures on both sides of the Atlantic, Spanish is one of the most valuable and exciting languages you can learn. Our Hispanic Studies team has diverse expertise in Hispanic languages and cultures and produces world-leading research.

Our MSci Natural Sciences programme uniquely places scientific research at its core, with the first two years designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge required to undertake a real research project in one of the University's research groups. We will explore the scientific concepts required to explain the natural world; from the properties of novel nano-materials such as graphene, to the richness of the living world, and to complex dynamic systems such as the Earth's climate.
This programme allows you to study philosophy in depth, in its many different facets. You will have the opportunity to discuss long-standing questions about the nature of knowledge (how do we know what we know?); science (does science provide us with a special kind of knowledge?); reality (does the world out there really exist?); ethics (how should we act?); art and beauty (who decides what counts as beautiful?); the mind-body relationship (how can the brain produce the mind?); the meaning of life (why is there something rather than nothing?); and more.
