You will spend time in two countries where your major languages are spoken. You can either study at a partner institution or conduct a work placement. We also encourage you to spend some vacation time in the country of your third language, and the department may be able to offer opportunities to apply for funding to support this. Year Four Back at Lancaster in the fourth year, you will consolidate your multiple language skills alongside language-specific cultural modules. You can also take comparative courses which allow you to see the languages and cultures you're studying in a global context. There are three possible routes through the final year. Route A - The language intensive route (Chinese French German Spanish) three advanced languages culture modules relating to the advanced languages Route B - The culture intensive route (Chinese French German Spanish) two advanced languages a range of culture modules relating to the advanced languages and others Route C - The Italian route (Chinese French German Spanish with Italian) two advanced languages culture modules relating to the advanced languages two Italian language modules Beginners Languages Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
