Beyond Tourism

Short term courses are intended mostly for tourists or researchers arriving to Russia. For tourists, this can turn a sightseeing trip into a true educational and cultural experience. For researchers, it is can helpful to have targeted courses on your subject material and even assistnace in navigating your archives. Students coming to Russia to learn the language will be best served by SRAS's full Study Abroad Programs.

These are individual, private courses. They may be taught in the teacher's home, or at your hostel or serviced apartment. Courses may also take the form of excursions – learn how to order food in restaurants, mail a letter, or order train tickets – and then go do it with your teacher! Subject courses in art, theatre, politics, and other subjects are also available. Contact SRAS for more details.
