Language, Culture and Communication with Year Abroad

Would you like to explore modern languages at university but didn't get a chance to study languages at A-level or an equivalent qualification? Then this degree course is for you.

This interdisciplinary degree course with an optional year abroad offers you a combination of modules in ethnography, cultural studies, sociolinguistics, and digital and non-digital communication, which will help you to tackle today's challenges in language, culture and communication.

You can choose to study 1 or 2 languages from scratch – including Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, Japanese and Russian.

If you’re an international student who fulfils the English Language requirements of the university, you can also opt to take English Language stages as one of your languages to become even more proficient in English.
