Starting from this year, teaching of modern languages of Southeast Asia at our University has been enriched by the study and teaching of Old Javanese which is one of the ancient Nusantara languages. In the framework o of project activities under the supervision of A.K. Kasatkina, associate professor of the Department of history, students can now get acquainted with cultural tradition of ancient Java and written records of Indonesia from the pre-Islamic period.

The Master's programme 'Global and Regional History' has two educational tracks: one historical and one anthropological. The main goal of the programme is to prepare graduates to continue their academic careers. However, students will also be able to work in more applied fields: in museums, publishing companies, exhibitions, and marketing. Find out which courses await students and why the programme rejects traditional divisions into Russian and world history in this interview with Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov, the programme's Academic Supervisor.
