Department of Russian Language and Literature

Hello everyone, I'm Emircan Hurma. I am a 4th year student at Anadolu University, Department of Russian Language and Literature. Our department was established in the 2010-2011 academic year. It was established with the aim that students who will build a career in the Russian language can master the Russian language, literature and culture. It is located in Yunus Emre Campus, known as the main campus of Anadolu University. Our department generally offers courses in Russian Grammar, Russian Literature, Translation from Russian to Turkish and from Turkish to Russian. In addition, we have optional courses such as Russian Dances, Russian Cinema History, and Literary Translation. There are computerized language laboratories that students of our department can use actively. In these laboratories, we can easily use computer aided translation programs called CAT (computer assisted translation). There is no compulsory internship in our department, but optional internships can be done in institutions such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Students who graduate from our department can generally work as academicians, translators or sworn translators, or they can find jobs in foreign trade companies, in the tourism sector or in airline companies. I studied foreign languages during my high school education. After that, I decided that the best department I could choose would be Russian Language and Literature. As a result of my research, I learned that Anadolu University is one of the best universities where I can study Russian language and literature. My main goal after graduating from this department is to advance in the academic field. My biggest advice to candidates who will prefer our university and department would be to benefit from the faculty members as much as they can. In addition, they will benefit from the opportunities provided by our university. Most of the lecturers of our department speak Russian as their mother tongue. In this way, students who study Russian can actively speak Russian with our teachers, practice and improve themselves more. If you want to be able to speak Russian effectively, you should benefit from these aspects of our teachers. I wish good luck to all candidates who will take the exam. We look forward to welcoming you to Anadolu University, Department of Russian Language and Literature.
