Course Description
Do you feel there is more to the past than just the UK’s perspective? Are you ready to examine history through the lens of other cultures, other ideologies and other languages? This course allows you to combine your passion for language learning with your curiosity for exploring the past. Through combining one or two European languages with history you’ll gain access not only to additional source texts, but also a whole new way of understanding the societies and cultures of contemporary Europe. Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the language and culture of your chosen country/countries, 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.
Language options
- I would like to study one language (either as a beginner or post-A level) - You may choose: French (post-A level only); German, Russian or Spanish.
- I would like to study two languages, one from beginner level and one post-A level - You may choose one post-A level language from: French, German, Russian or Spanish. You may choose one beginners' language from: French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish or Serbian/Croatian. - I want to study two languages post-A level - You may choose two from: French, German, Russian, Spanish.
You’ll spend two thirds of your time in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures studying your language(s). The final third will be spent on your selected modules in the Department of History.
