Course Overview

Our Modern Languages with Translation BA gives you the opportunity to develop your foreign language skills and gain insight into foreign cultures while giving you the skills and understanding you need for a promising career in translation and interpretation.

Throughout the course, you will spend two-thirds of your time studying your choice of foreign languages and one-third of your course on the study of translation and interpreting. You will study two languages in your first year (choose from French, Italian, and Spanish), with the option of studying one at Beginners' level. In your second and third years, you can either continue with both languages or choose to concentrate on just one.

At the end of your first year, you will attend one of our fully-funded Summer Schools. This immersive experience includes language tuition, cultural and social activities, and accommodation with a local family.

Developing your foreign language skills gives you a powerful advantage in business and opens up a wide and exciting range of careers. You will enjoy a rich culture of learning-led experience in a supportive and tailored learning environment, and you will be supported by our team of personal tutors to help you make the best of your time here.

You will also spend a year abroad where you can live as a student or work as a teaching assistant, with tutors on hand to help throughout the year. We have links with several universities in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Canada, and Latin America. Alternatively, you can take up an approved work placement.
