History and Languages (T55)

Combining the study of history and languages broadens your understanding of cultural change while building practical skills for work, travel, and future learning. In this certificate, you'll examine four periods of swift and radical change: the Reformation, the French Revolution, the aftermath of World War I, and the 1960s. Alongside your historical studies, you develop your confidence in listening, reading, writing, speaking and interacting in your choice of French, German or Spanish, expanding your knowledge and understanding of the cultures of that language. By focusing on history alongside a modern language you'll open up options for future study or career.
