LINGUISTICS
The curriculum of the Bachelor's degree program covers a wide range of disciplines that will enable graduates to become well-rounded educated people with knowledge of two, and if desired, three foreign languages. Much attention in the process of study is paid to the study of the "worlds" of the first and second foreign languages. Lecture and practical classes are supported by educational and thematic excursions.

Excursions to Moscow and Moscow region, meetings with interesting people, musical evenings, friendly communication with Russian students broaden the outlook and help in improving the Russian language.

International students study Russian as their first foreign language, and English as their second.
However, if there is a study group of at least 10-12 people wishing to study German, French, Spanish, Italian or Slavic languages, the faculty can offer this language as a third language.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FFLAS AND OTHER MSU FACULTIES?
The most important principle of education is the study of two foreign languages in inseparable unity with the history and culture of the peoples speaking these languages, therefore a special place in the educational program is occupied by courses in foreign languages, disciplines on the world of the studied languages.
At FFLAS, students not only study Russian, English and other foreign languages, but are also taught the basis of intercultural communication, i.e. building communication with representatives of other cultures taking into account their national peculiarities and traditions.
The field of study "Linguistics" (program "Russian language in intercultural space") offers two specializations:
1. "Translation, Interpretation and Intercultural Communication" (first foreign language - Russian, second foreign language - English): the program is aimed at training translators with knowledge of Russian and English languages. The program gives a wide range of knowledge on a variety of issues of Russian and English languages, literature, history, intercultural communication.

2. "Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages" (first foreign language - Russian, second foreign language - English): the program is aimed at training teachers with knowledge of Russian and English languages. The program provides a wide range of knowledge on various issues of Russian and English languages, as well as pedagogy and methods of teaching foreign languages.

The student chooses a specialization after passing the entrance exams and can change it during the first year of study.

During the first and second year of study students have similar disciplines, regardless of the chosen specialization.
In the third year, the choice of disciplines is determined by the specialization: "Translation, Interpretation and Intercultural Communication" or "Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages"
