Undergraduate
If you have an interest in language and culture, we offer a range of single honours and joint honours degree courses to choose from.
Languages and cultures
Taught by native speakers, our courses aim to allow students to develop a high level of proficiency in their chosen language(s) as well as a comprehensive understanding of cultures that shape them. All our languages can be studied from beginner or advanced level.
We offer the following language courses:
Our courses are very flexible and allow to expand your interests with a range of optional modules.
Combine languages with other subjects
A joint honours degree is the perfect option for those would like to combine their interests. Many choose to combine two of the languages taught within the School itself. Other options such as the combination of politics and modern foreign languages are also popular. Students are required to complete a year abroad period when a language is one of the two subjects select as part of a joint honours scheme.
Translation
The School of Modern Languages offers specialist translation programmes which provide our students with practical, professional translation skills and in-depth language tuition alongside the opportunity to gain an excellent command of two modern languages. Our Translation degrees are available as three or four year programmes of study.
