Our BA Modern Languages degree is flexible and you can choose to study one, two or three languages. 

One language You can focus on one language as long as it is at Advanced level and you have studied that language at A Level (or equivalent): French, German, Italian, or Spanish.  

Russian is also an option at Advanced level but it can't be studied on its own so you would need to study another language at Advanced or Beginner level.
