Immerse yourself in the fascinating study of global cultures and societies and gain a firm foundation of how language works, its structure and its history. On our Modern Languages and Linguistics BA Honours degree you’ll study two languages alongside a range of linguistics modules.


Flexible language choices


Apply your knowledge and skills to build fluency in your chosen languages. You can choose from:


  • Chinese or Japanese
  • French
  • German
  • Portuguese (from beginner’s level only)
  • Spanish

You could study two languages you’ve studied before or one of your choices could be at beginner’s level, giving you the opportunity to try something new. One of your language choices will be French, German or Spanish at intermediate level (suitable for those who have an A-Level or equivalent in this language).


Linguistics expertise


This Modern Languages and Linguistics programme is shaped by the research specialisms of our world-leading staff. You’ll explore some of the most exciting and current areas of linguistics, such as:


  • language variation and change
  • sociolinguistics
  • phonological and syntactic theory
  • language development and acquisition
  • experimental and data-driven approaches to language analysis 


Benefit from the flexibility of an optional Year Abroad or UK Careers Placement


Shape your degree to suit your personal and professional goals with one of three flexible options. You can choose to:  


  • spend a year abroad in your third year to develop your language skills among native speakers and experience a different culture 
  • undertake a Careers Placement Year in the UK in your third year to gain valuable work experience
  • complete your degree in 3 years without spending time on a Year Abroad or on a Careers Placement Year

Regardless of what you choose to do, you will confirm this with us in Stage 2 after receiving guidance and support.
