What will I learn?

The BA World Languages is a four-year specialist language programme, including a year of study abroad. It aims to produce graduates with sought-after language skills, as well as an understanding of language as a system and of the cultures of the languages studied. While the focus of the programme is on living European and world languages, Latin is also offered for its value as an academic discipline and as the root of several of the other languages available. Most of the languages offered (except French or Irish) can be taken without having been studied previously, but all students must have demonstrated competence in a language other than English. Year 3 of the programme is a structured year abroad, involving study at a partner institution or a combination of study at a partner institution and a work placement.
