The BA Modern Languages with Foundation Year allows students to raise their language skills to near-native standard in at least one of two languages studied, and learn related skills in translating, summary-writing, and written and oral presentations. At the same time, students can increase their cultural understanding through options in literature, film and society. The students gain confidence in speaking and writing both the chosen languages for study and English. Students will also have the opportunity to study a number of cross-cultural modules allowing them to explore specific themes across a variety of language-speaking areas. Before proceeding to the main degree, students will spend their Foundation Year preparing yourself for a degree in the arts by improving their study and research skills and gaining arts-related knowledge and understanding. Students will also have the opportunity to take a language module as part of the Foundation Year. Graduates can pursue careers in education, publishing or commerce and banking. This degree can also be useful in becoming a translator, interpreter, secondary school teacher, broadcast journalist or English as a Foreign Language teacher.
