Gain a deep understanding of the relationship between language, literature and culture and how they impact society in Europe and beyond. You will explore rhetoric, poetry, prose, theatre and film in English and other languages as you apply practical skills in your study of modern foreign languages.

Cultivate your understanding of the intimate relationship between language and culture, and how it shapes the literature – and the lives – of modern global societies.

As a dual honours student, you'll divide your studies between the School of English and the School of Languages, Arts and Cultures. Delving into the history, literature and culture of your chosen countries, you’ll see how the fabric of those societies is woven by the literary arts.

This is a degree that allows you to pursue and develop your own interests. Choose from a variety of modules as diverse as animal studies, the history of the Gothic, American literature and the analysis of film. Engage with diverse texts from all over the world, both in English and in translation. 

Learn languages to an advanced level and refine them in your third year abroad, when you can study at a leading European university, carry out an approved work placement, or take part in exciting volunteering opportunities around the world - or teach English with the British Council.

The academic aptitude and personal skills that you develop on your degree will make you highly prized by employers, whatever your chosen career path after university:

  • Excellent oral and written multilingual communication
  • Intercultural awareness
  • Independent working
  • Time management and organisation
  • Planning and researching written work - Articulating knowledge and understanding of texts, concepts and theories
  • Leading and participating in discussions
  • Negotiation and teamwork
  • Effectively conveying arguments and opinions and thinking creatively
  • Critical reasoning and analysis
