Course Overview

The Modern Languages BA at Bangor provides you with the unique opportunity to study up to three languages in a friendly, supportive and vibrant environment in one of the most beautiful parts of the United Kingdom. We offer French, Spanish, German, Italian and Chinese at degree level, as well as modules in Dutch and Galician. Our courses are designed to cater for those who have studied one or more languages at A Level as well as offering pathways for those beginning a language from scratch.

You can choose to specialise in one language or broaden your knowledge base by choosing two or three languages. You can carry on with a language you have been learning at school and add one or even two new ones to your skill set. Our courses are designed to equip you with excellent language and communication skills as well as enhancing your understanding of the cultures where they are spoken. Our staff are highly regarded researchers and you will be learning about language, culture and history from real experts.

A key aspect of the degree is the Year Abroad (year 3) where you will spend time in one or more countries developing your language skills and gaining valuable experience which will set you up for final year and, ultimately your future career. During the Year Abroad you can choose to study at one of our many partner universities or enter the world of work as an English Language Assistant or on a work placement. The skills acquired during a language degree are highly sought after by employers. As well as your language abilities, you will develop excellent communication, analytical and presentation skills in addition to a high level of cultural awareness and time management skills.
