Course summary

  • Highly flexible programme which allows you to structure your studies around your interests or follow a specific career-orientated pathway.

  • Study Latin alongside one other language: Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish, which can be taken from beginners level.

  • Your final degree title will reflect your choices and you will divide your time equally between the two languages.

  • Enhance your understanding of language development by discovering the links between modern and ancient languages. Closely study the wonderfully flexible and expressive language of Latin alongside literary criticism

  • Home to a Language Centre with modern language-learning facilities

  • Get involved in activities outside class: language societies, tandem partnerships, liaison work in schools and the community such as our Translation! Festival – the only public festival dedicated to translation in the UK

If you wish to study a Beginners language from Year 1, you must spend your third year in the country of that language and therefore will need to apply for the 4-year variant.
