Course summary
Our Modern Languages with Translation degree is designed for all language learners. You can choose from two routes: beginners, or intermediate.
You can join with no previous language study, choosing from French, Japanese, or Spanish. We'll support you to go from beginner to fluent during your course.
If you already have language skills and want to advance your proficiency we'll support you to achieve an advanced level (C1) in your chosen language (French or Spanish). You can choose one or more of these languages at the appropriate levels.
Alongside your modern language studies, you’ll gain skills for working and living globally. You'll explore global identities, customs and even humour. You'll also gain translation skills valued by businesses worldwide. You can study modules from Business, International Relations, Politics and Education, including Consumer Behaviour or European Politics.
You can choose to study abroad for a year, or you can finish your degree in 3 years and leave travel and work until after you graduate.
