At King’s, we offer you a lively and intellectually stimulating home in the heart of London, where you will learn from leading experts and explore the past and present through an interconnected lens.

In History, you will investigate themes ranging from the medieval period to the modern world, taking a comparative approach that reveals the links, contrasts, and continuities between different times and places.

In Modern Languages, you will develop advanced skills in speaking, writing, and reading your chosen language, alongside a deep understanding of its culture, politics, and history. Whether you join as an experienced linguist or as a beginner on our specially designed ‘ab initio’ pathway, you will explore literature, film, and cultural history from the medieval period to the present day.

Studying these subjects together allows you to place historical events within their linguistic and cultural contexts, and to see how language both shapes and reflects the world’s histories. Your third year abroad in a French-, German-, Portuguese- or Spanish-speaking country will give you the chance to apply your historical knowledge in real-world contexts, experiencing first-hand the societies you have studied.
