Course summary
Open doors to the world on this double or triple-language degree as you explore the language and cultures of some of the most influential countries globally. This double or triple-language degree course will provide you with opportunities to develop your linguistic and communication skills to the highest levels, while learning about the history, politics and cultures of the countries you are studying. You can choose from Chinese, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese in your first year. From the second year, you will have the opportunity to continue with two or three languages, or to focus on one. There are several very attractive features of the Modern Languages course at Chester, such as studying Chinese or Portuguese as language choices and the length of time you can spend working or studying on placements for each of the languages you will study. We provide the opportunity to spend up to 18 months in up to three different countries. If you choose to study three languages you may study two of them from beginner level.
