Students intending to take an Honours program in Russian should note that the sequence of Russian 301, 303 and 361 is recommended by the Department as providing the best foundation for Honours level work in senior courses. Further, a background in one or more related Fields such as Comparative Literature, History, Philosophy, Linguistics, Romance Studies and English is considered an advantage for prospective Honours students.

See 3.1 Admissions and other requirements under 3.5 Graduation.

Students interested in applying for Honours should discuss their plans with and seek the advice of the Department.

Upon admission each student will be assigned a departmental advisor who will assist with program planning and course selection, and the designation of the thesis supervisor.

The program requires the completion of nine full-course equivalents in Russian (which may include Slavic 355). A micro-focus (two full-course equivalents) in the area of Social Analysis or Linguistics (see departmental web page for details) is strongly recommended.

In the final year the student must take Russian 591 (Honours Project). This will require the preparation of an Honours Thesis under close departmental supervision. In addition to the academic requirements, the Honours Thesis grade must be at least "A" or "A-" if the Department is to recommend the candidate for First Class Honours, and must be at least "B" if the candidate is to be recommended for Honours.

Students should also note they must satisfy the general Faculty requirements for Honours programs.
