You use the degree as an opportunity to try out new languages (you might want to specialise in more than one), but also to try out different literary genres, whether fiction or non-fiction. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time.
