Course summary

This four-year Modern Languages degree allows you to study two languages, as well as a variety of optional modules covering culture and society. You’ll gain the language and professional skills to prepare you for an international career in many sectors. Whether you’re starting your language from a beginners’ level, or with prior knowledge, you’ll reach a professional standard in your chosen languages through intensive learning practice and your residence abroad. You’ll complement your language studies by exploring cultures and societies around the world, choosing from a range of topics such as literature, cinema, popular culture, history and politics. You can also enhance your professional language skills, through modules on translation, interpreting or languages for business. To find out what it is like to study with us, visit the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies website. What languages can I study? On the four-year Modern Languages degree, we offer the following languages at two entry levels. You can start as a beginner, or start with prior experience (A-level or equivalent). If you have prior experience in Arabic or Thai, please contact us before applying:

  • Chinese
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Portuguese

Language combinations Not all language combinations are possible because of residence abroad requirements.

If you have any questions about your combination, please contact our Admissions team. You’ll need to tell us your language combination in the ‘Further Details’ section of your UCAS application.
