Ukraine is with its 600,000 sq km (slightly smaller than Texas) Europe's second largest nation after Russia, and just as in Russia there are significant differences between the cities where you can choose to study. While Kiev is Ukraine's political and economic centre, with an international atmosphere where you most likely will find lots of foreign students and international businesses, you will find that Odessa with its closeness to the Black Sea is a haven for those who want to combine their Russian or Ukrainian studies with a nice vacation by the sea.

For those just wishing to visit the Black Sea rather than study we can offer accommodation in a well located university hostel perfect for exploring Odessa and the Back Sea coast.

Where to study?
Deciding where to take a Russian or Ukrainian course may not be as easy as it sounds. The geo-political and geo-economic situation across Russia and Ukraine means that the conditions in different cities vary a lot. If you would like to experience studying a language in more than one city then we can easily arrange for you to study in any combination of cities where we offer courses.
