About Modern Languages and Cultures

Our work explores communication in all its forms, and includes modules in Modern Languages, Cultural Studies, Media Studies (including Film, Television and Journalism), and Critical Theory. You will engage with the most up-to-date, dynamic, and forward-looking studies of the workings of global, regional and local societies.

A unique aspect of our degree programmes is the compulsory language component. The study of a modern European or Asian language is a core requirement, ensuring that you graduate with a high level of spoken and written fluency (in a language new to you), improving not only your grasp of another language and culture, but also dramatically enhancing your employability in today’s competitive job market.

Your degree will give you a thorough understanding of contemporary communications in both local and international settings. You will develop the practical, creative, analytical and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in our globalised society. Our teaching methods emphasize communication, argumentation and presentation skills as well as comprehension and information-processing; team-working and collaboration just as much as independent thinking; practical and vocational engagement in addition to theoretical and philosophical approaches.
