Course Description
The four-year BA Dutch and Hungarian is a joint honours programme split equally between your two languages. You will take modules not only in language (speaking, listening, reading, writing and translation) but also in cultural topics including literature, history, film, linguistics, politics and other relevant field designed to complement your language learning. With a wide variety of modules on offer, you will be able to tailor your modern languages degree to your areas of interest.
You will spend a Year Abroad in the third year, split between two countries where your languages are spoken.
UCL houses the oldest centre for Dutch Studies with the most comprehensive Dutch Library in the English-speaking world.

You will study in a small, friendly department, with an excellent staff-student ratio unusual in higher education nowadays.
The most fascinating feature of Hungarian is that while it is so different to the languages around it, it still bears many intriguing signs of Europeanness - both linguistically and culturally.
