Courses are offered at six different levels, from beginning to advanced.

Highlights

SRAS believes that internships are one of the best ways to solidify your language skills and really get to know your host country. Socially-focused internships such as those at NGOs and theaters, can be especially good for placing you with locals who are usually highly active in their communities.

SRAS is offering three USD 750 scholarships to students participating in our NGO and Cultural Internships Program.

Degree Level

Qualifications

Requirement may differ depending on the internship sought. Strong spoken and written Russian as well as related study and/or experience in the field are not required, but is a plus. Non-Russian speaking students can usually still be placed in internships, but the range of possible tasks they might be offered there will be necessarily more limited.
