This Modern Languages and Linguistics BA Honours degree focuses on the study of two languages and linguistics. You can choose from French, German, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as Chinese or Japanese.

You'll be immersed in the study of global cultures and societies of the countries where your chosen languages are spoken, gaining a firm foundation of how language works, its structure and its history.

You will apply your knowledge and skills to strengthen your fluency in your chosen languages.
