Program Description

This BA (Hons) Applied Languages degree course will transform your passion for learning languages into professional communication and linguistic skills.Study how language works, including specialist topics such as linguistics, communication theory and managing across cultures, in preparation for professional roles in areas such as a translation, interpreting, teaching and tourism. You can choose to study either:
  • Two languages at advanced level: chosen from French, German, Spanish and/or English as a foreign language
  • Two languages at different levels: one language at advanced level (chosen from French, German, Spanish or English as a foreign language) and one language at beginner level (chosen from French, German, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish)
More than 60% of adults from the European Union can speak a second language, compared to less than half of the UK population (according to Eurostat 2016). When you graduate, you'll stand out in a population where language skills are lagging behind the rest of the world.

Course highlights 

  • Study or work abroad in two different countries where your chosen languages are spoken, immersing yourself in their culture so you can build a career across borders

  • teaching and education

  • Produce your own translations and build up interpreting experience in real and simulated work environments, so you can prove your skills to employers
  • Have the opportunity to study a third language from Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish
