Course summary
Taught jointly by the Department of Sociology and the Language Centre, this BSc Language, Culture and Society allows you to study sociology and become fluent in either French, German, Mandarin, Russian or Spanish.
You’ll examine how societies work and examine the role of language in our culture and society. You’ll also choose language, linguistics and literature courses from the Language Centre. The programme includes a year abroad (in the third year) at one of five partner institutions. During the year abroad, you’ll study courses in your chosen language and also audit sociology classes at your host university. Opportunities for short internships may also be available.
This degree will equip you with the necessary skills for many different careers in government, the corporate sector, research and advisory organisations, and social care.
Previous language study is very useful but not essential – you can start as a complete beginner or pick up your learning post-GCSE or A-level.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
For applicants from the UK, contextual information is used to gain a more complete picture of the educational and individual context of an applicant. This allows our admissions selectors to assess achievement and potential whilst recognising the challenges an applicant may have faced.
Applicants who have been flagged for the attention of the admissions selector will receive additional consideration which may include a lower contextual offer. Full details can be found on our programme pages.
