BA (Hons) Modern Languages with History of Art and Visual Culture

This course offers you the opportunity to combine study of Modern Languages (75% of the course) with History of Art and Visual Culture (25%) and to spend your third year abroad.

As a joint honours Modern Languages student you will gain fluency in the language of your choice - French, German, Italian or Spanish. Whether you start at beginners, advanced or native-speaker levels, you will study the core language components for your chosen language, gaining skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening. All our language teaching is led by native speakers.

The remainder of your modern languages study will give you an opportunity to explore the literature, art, culture and history of the language area you are studying, from seventeenth-century French theatre to representations of childhood and youth in German culture, and from Italian fashion and design to visual arts from across the Spanish-speaking world. As a modern linguist, you will develop excellent communication and research skills, and combine linguistic proficiency with cross-cultural perspectives.
