With the BA Modern Languages, you can tailor your linguistic journey with a variety of languages on offer. You can study up to two principal languages, to varying levels of competence, which include French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. In addition to your principal language modules, our unique pathways enable you to choose from modules in cultural studies, education, and translation.

You may also expand your range of languages by taking introductory modules in Catalan, Italian, Mandarin Chinese or Portuguese (Catalan and Portuguese offered on a rolling basis). Throughout your studies, you will have the opportunity to pick modules from any of these pathways, enabling you to mould your learning experience to suit your own interests and aspirations.

French, German and Spanish can be studied at the following levels, and in the following combinations:

  • If you have an A-level or equivalent qualification/experience in two of these languages, you can continue to study both languages with us at an advanced level.
  • If you have an A-level or equivalent qualification/experience in one of these languages, you can either concentrate exclusively on that language or learn another language, simultaneously, via our dedicated beginner language pathways.


If you do not have a language A-level, and may or may not have a language GCSE, you can concentrate on one beginner’s language (French, German or Spanish) for the duration of your degree. You may also take a second beginner language (French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish) during the second year of your degree. This will enable you to graduate with advanced proficiency (C1) in your first language, and intermediate-advanced proficiency (B2-C1) in your second language.
