This degree programme combines Politics and International Relations with the study of your chosen language: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. This degree combination provides a valuable skill set, ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. Studying your chosen language will also give you direct access to cultural production and political debates in the countries and cultures in which it is spoken. You choose your language after you accept an offer.

All languages can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only.

The Politics side of the degree explores power, who exercises it, for whom, how it is distributed, and with what consequences. You will gain insight into the politics of different countries, regions and systems, as well as global and local political issues and movements.

On the language side of your degree, you will follow a structured language course in your chosen language, as well as explore the richness of the cultures in which it is spoken, choosing from a range of units in areas such as literature, film, history, thought, linguistics, politics and visual culture. You will spend your third year abroad in a country in which your language is spoken, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad.

Our course will ensure you practise a wide range of skills that will make you attractive to future employers in the sector of your choice.

As a Modern Languages student, you will have access to the School of Modern Languages’ Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers and talent shows.
