The study programme is designed specifically as specialized Bachelor’s single-subject study programme providing its students with relatively comprehensive philological education in the given field, as well as with basic knowledge and skills in the fields that will help the graduates find better employment in the sphere of commerce. The graduates should be able to find employment mostly in higher administrative positions, where the stress is on general knowledge, etiquette, and a good knowledge of foreign languages. The studies are designed in a way that graduates should be able to carry out a large number of routine tasks independently, head business meetings over the phone as well as in person, communicate in written and oral Russian, take the minutes of meetings with foreigners, and translate and interpret less demanding texts. In contrast to the traditional philological studies offered at universities, a greater emphasis is placed on mastering practical language and on obtaining basic translation and interpreting skills. Most of the theoretical courses in the studies are propaedeutic and introductory. Apart from philological courses, the students obtain a basic knowledge of economy, law, social psychology, and basis computer skills.
