BA (Hons) Modern Language and Music

... United Kingdom
... University of Birmingham

Course Overview

Birmingham’s fusion of language and culture places employability at its heart, preparing you to live and work as an engaged citizen of the world.

Studying an undergraduate modern language from beginner or advanced level (French, German, Spanish or Russian) alongside Music is highly complementary and an exciting opportunity to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. At the Univeristy of Birmingham, language is studied through the lens of the target culture's literature, history, politics and society, and through total immersion on the Year Abroad. Find out more about your chosen combination. Some combinations we are unable to offer due to timetabling restrictions and German alongside Music is only offered at Advanced level.
