Modern Languages combines advanced language skills with the literature, history and culture of the countries where these languages are spoken. It also focuses on developing critical faculties and cross-cultural awareness. This degree is for those of you who want to concentrate on at least two modern foreign languages, explore the connections between them, spend a year abroad and graduate with a BA International degree. You can study French, German, Italian or Spanish at an advanced level (post-Leaving Certificate or equivalent), and you can take Italian, Spanish and German as a beginner. At least one language should be studied at an advanced level. Portuguese (only at beginners’ level) can be taken as an option at Stage 1 and as a structured elective after that. One interdisciplinary core module at each stage allows students to make connections between the languages and cultures they are studying.
