About

About you

Do you enjoy speaking languages and finding out about the countries in which they are spoken?

Are you also interested in language itself – why languages are different, why people in different places speak differently, how we communicate? Do you enjoy travelling and getting to know other cultures in depth?

Would you like to study three languages or combine your study of two languages with subjects like Law, Marketing or Politics and International Relations?

Would you like to acquire specialist skills, such as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) or Technical Communication while you study languages?

If this sounds like you, then Applied Languages at UL could be the course for you.

Why study Applied Languages at UL?

This programme aims to produce graduates with a high level of competence in at least two languages combined with a specialist knowledge of the societies in which those languages are spoken. The course also offers the unusual opportunity to take three languages to degree level. Graduates will also possess professional expertise in an area such as Law, Marketing, Politics and International Relations, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) or Technical Communication.
