Course summary
This is the course for true language lovers. If your passion is being able to communicate with people from around the globe, and you dream of having the opportunity to immerse yourself in other cultures – then this is course is for you!
During your time with us, we’ll guide you through your three chosen languages (one of which may be from beginners' level) helping you push yourself towards fluency in preparation for your year abroad.
Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in all three of your chosen languages and cultures, but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone won’t only benefit your degree, it’ll shape the person you are to become.
We offer: French, German, Portuguese (beginners' only), Russian, Serbian/Croatian (beginners' only) and Spanish.
