This course allows you to focus on contemporary language and culture.
French is a major international language. It's the first language of more than 100 million people across the world, while more than 60 million people speak French as a second language.
With more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the world. Speaking French and Spanish will help you conduct business more confidently in countries that are becoming increasingly important in world markets.
Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist. You can spend up to two years abroad living, working and/or studying in another country - one on exchange to a partner university and one as an English-language assistant in a French or Spanish school.
Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1 you will study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.
The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.
You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
