The BA Modern Languages at the University of Bristol offers you the chance to become fluent in one, two, or even three languages, delving deeply into the rich cultures and histories associated with them. In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate across linguistic and cultural divides is a vital skill, and this undergraduate degree provides you with that expertise. You will explore subjects ranging from linguistics and translation to politics and film, developing a nuanced understanding of global societies. This course is ideal for curious and motivated students eager to broaden their horizons and engage with diverse perspectives.
This full-time, four-year degree programme, studied on campus, allows you to tailor your learning journey. You will begin with core language units and cultural introductions in your first year, progressing to optional units in areas like literature, history, and visual culture in subsequent years. A significant highlight is your third year, which you will spend abroad, immersing yourself in a country where your chosen language is spoken. You will graduate with advanced language proficiency and intercultural competence, prepared for diverse career paths in international relations, translation, education, business, and beyond.
