Course Description
Studying a Modern Language with Philosophy, Ethics and Religion will equip you with knowledge, language and transferable skills valued by employers in a global workplace. You will develop written (e.g. translation) and oral skills and cultural insights related to the chosen language. You will also gain a solid knowledge in a variety of religious, ethical and philosophical traditions - encompassing both analytical and continental philosophy, and religions of Eastern and Western tradition.
All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.
Optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying.
Philosophy, Ethics and Religion will provide you with a range of complementary perspectives on key ideas that have shaped culture and thought, and how such ideas interrelate with religious thought.
There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students. These include cultural and social events organised by student-run societies.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Modern Languages (with Foundation Year) R808 or History (with Foundation Year) V10F.
