There is also a possibility for you to expand your range of languages to study introductory modules in Catalan, Italian and Portuguese.<br/><br/>French, German and Spanish can be studied at the following levels and in the following combinations:<br/>• If you have an A-level in two of these languages, you can continue to study both languages with us at an advanced level.<br/>• 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.<br/>• 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.<br/><br/>Modern Languages at Swansea is ranked:<br/>• 1st in the UK for Teaching Satisfaction (Guardian University Guide 2025)<br/>• 1st for Learning Opportunities (NSS 2024)*<br/>• 2nd for Teaching (NSS 2024)*<br/>• 2nd for Student Voice (NSS 2024)**<br/>• 5th in the UK Overall (Guardian University Guide 2025)<br/><br/>A- Based on the average positivity score across questions 5 to 9 in the NSS 2024, when ranked against universities featured in the Times Good University Guide.<br/>B- Based on the average positivity score across questions 1 to 4 in the NSS 2024, when ranked against universities featured in the Times Good University Guide.<br/>C- Based on the average positivity score across questions 22 to 25 in the NSS 2024, when ranked against universities featured in the Times Good University Guide.<br/><br/>This programme also includes a year abroad, spent in the country or countries of the language or languages studied.
