Course overview
This is a degree designed for students who are passionate about languages and who know that they want to work with languages.
This innovative and specialist language degree allows you to study two languages, with the possibility of taking another language at Beginner's Level in the First year. Linguistics, Translation Studies and Media are embedded at all levels of the programme. At Undergraduate level, small language classes, with native speakers of the target language, facilitate the acquisition of a high degree of linguistic competence. Students will also study literary and other cultural products of their target language. Students may also choose to take short introductory courses in Chinese and modules in Latin will also be available.
This four-year degree programme incorporates a mandatory year of study abroad, typically involving study at partner institution(s). Students taking two languages will spend a semester immersed in each of their languages.
Learning outcomes for the programme
Students will be able to:
'If you talk to a person in a language they understand, that goes to their head. If you talk to them in their own language - that goes to their heart.
