Modern languages opens the doors to a variety of career paths. Our aim at the School of Global Humanities is for you to become a ‘global citizen’ who thinks critically, understands cultural diversity and has a wealth of transferable skills.
On our four-year BA Modern Languages programme, you will develop high-level communication and critical-thinking skills, and foster resilience and independence through time spent in immersive foreign language contexts.
You will gain a wealth of transferable skills and knowledge beneficial to the world of employment.
You can choose to study one or two of the four different languages we offer*. These include:
We run two programme pathways; one for those with an A-level or equivalent competence in a modern language (Advanced) and one for those with limited or no knowledge of a modern language (Elementary).
You will explore the languages you are studying and their social, historical and cultural contexts from a global perspective. You will develop your reading, writing, oral, listening and mediation skills through a variety of language learning resources and materials and range of student-centred learning activities.
An integral part of this programme is the opportunity to spend time working or living abroad to experience life in the culture of the languages you are studying at first hand. You will have the choice of either studying at a partner university or completing a work placement in each semester.
On completion of this programme, you will be a confident and independent user of one or two modern foreign languages. You will be able to speak and write fluently and accurately, and read, understand and analyse complex texts in those language(s) and in English with confidence.
It is important to remember that studying languages is not just about the language itself, it involves the integrated study of language, culture and society. We aspire to offer a programme that offers challenging and stimulating modules with a strong emphasis on cultural diversity, and that celebrates cultural and linguistic mobility.
