Course summary

Why Lancaster?

  • Benefit from our contemporary approach to teaching languages as inseparable from the cultures, histories and societies in which they are spoken.
  • Learn foreign languages to internationally recognised benchmarks.
  • Learn about French-speaking and Spanish-speaking communities from around the world.
  • Immerse yourself in your target language with an international study placement or work experience.
Join our international community. Take part in extracurricular activities such as our language lunch clubs. Stand out to employers with one of our languages degrees –a badge of excellence in both language ability and intercultural understanding. A pioneering approach During our course, as well as developing high-level language skills, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of Francophone and Hispanophone cultures. You’ll consider the society, politics and history of the languages you’re speaking. You may have studied both French and Spanish to A level. In which case, consolidate your skills with our Advanced programmes. But if you’d like to pick up French or Spanish again having only studied them for GCSE, or have never studied them before, you’ll advance quickly with our Intensive Beginners programme. Our degree takes you to C1/C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference. Your international placement Spending your third year abroad is an invaluable opportunity to develop your language skills while immersing yourself in the social and cultural life of local communities. Choose to study in your target language at one of our international partner universities. Or gain experience on a work placement - past examples include the Chamber of Commerce in Madrid and a communications agency in France. You could also work as a language assistant in a school or college. Whatever route you choose, we’ll help you prepare in our special second year employability module. Beginners Languages Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
