Course overview
In years one, two and your final year you will take language modules in your chosen languages, as well as cultural modules related to them. You may also take modules focusing on literature, film, linguistics and history from an interdisciplinary perspective.
You will spend your third year abroad, split between two countries where your chosen languages are spoken. You will achieve the same linguistic competence regardless of whether you start a language from scratch or have previous knowledge of it.
