Course summary

Have a passion for language learning, looking to study multiple languages within a flexible degree structure? A Modern Languages degree at Warwick enables you to study two or three languages and cultures. You would usually spend a year studying or working abroad, boosting your skills and employability. This flexible degree programme allows you to study two or three languages and cultures to degree level. Alongside your language study, you can develop a specialism in the culture one or more of your languages and also have the opportunity to study thematic modules across cultures. You can choose one of two different routes on this degree:

On route one you study two languages, a culture module in language 1 and a further cultural module from across the School.

On route two you study three languages. In Year One you will study a cultural module from across the School.

On route one you can choose your first language from: French, German, Italian or Spanish. Your second language can be selected from: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese or Spanish. 50% of your time will be devoted to language learning and the other 50% of your time will be spent studying cultural modules focused on your first language and/or selected from cultural modules offered within the School. On route two you can choose two languages from: French, German, Italian or Spanish. Your third language will be selected from: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese or Spanish. 75% of your degree will be devoted to language learning and the remaining 25% of your time will be spent studying cultural modules focusing on one or more of your languages. We offer a wide range of cultural modules within the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and the full range is open to you on both routes of this course. You will normally spend your second or third year abroad consolidating and enhancing your language learning.
