"If your entry qualification for Russian Studies is a Scottish Higher, you will be automatically admitted to 1B. However, if you enter the course more than twelve months after you took your Higher, you should take our Diagnostic Test. If this tells us that you are better suited to 1A than to 1B, you will be given the option of switching to 1A. The Diagnostic Test is also open to students who have done a crash Higher, whether or not it was in the past twelve months.


All other students whose entry qualification for Russian studies is three years old: if your entry qualification for Russian studies entitles you to admission to 1B, you will be automatically admitted to 1B. However, you may also, if you wish, take our Diagnostic Test, and if this tells us that you are better suited to 1A than to 1B, you will be given the option of switching to 1A. (We recommend that you take the test if you have not engaged in language learning activities since you gained that entry qualification.)

To take the Diagnostic Test, please contact your 1B Course Organiser as soon as possible.


Please note that changing from 1B to 1A is not allowed in any other circumstances, and is not possible after week 2 of semester 1."
