On Campus

On our Modern Languages degree, you can study up to two principal languages (selected from French, German, or Spanish), helping you to become part of a global community and opening doors to a wide range of careers.

In addition to your principal language modules, via our dedicated and unique pathways you will also choose from modules in cultural studies (covering literature, film, poetry and more), education (second language teaching and pedagogy in the primary and secondary classroom) and translation (both into and out of the target language, and including documentary, instrumental and computer-assisted translation). There is also a possibility for students wishing to expand their range of languages to study introductory modules in Catalan, Italian and Portuguese.

French, German and Spanish can be studied at the following levels and in the following combinations:
  • If you have an A-level in two of these languages, you can continue to study both languages with us at an advanced level.
  • If you have an A-level in one of these languages, you can either concentrate exclusively on that language or learn another language, simultaneously, via our dedicated beginner language pathways.
  • If you have not had the chance to study a language at A-level or GCSE, you can concentrate on one beginner’s language (selected from French, German or Spanish) for the duration of your degree. Alternatively, you can also pick up a second beginner’s language (selected from French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, or Spanish) during the second year of your degree. This will enable you to graduate with advanced proficiency (C1) in your first language, and intermediate-advanced proficiency (B2-C1) in your second language.
