In both the private and public sectors, there is a demand for professionals with strong language skills who can work in culturally diverse environments. If you are studying languages, we offer a range of them, some of which you can start as a complete beginner, and you will have the opportunity to learn from native speakers. French: This course places language learning within the wider context of French Studies including culture, society, literature, film and history. The language units emphasise communicating effectively and developing transferable skills such as translating, interpreting and interview techniques, with practical language classes embracing speaking, listening, reading and writing. On this course, you will have the option to take up our Interpreting and Translation route from your second year. Alternatively, you will also have the option to apply, within the first year of your studies, to follow the route to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as part of your degree. You will be required to spend your third year abroad in France. The experience of being immersed in another culture for several months is one our students find both beneficial and rewarding. They return having made new friends, experienced new places and having grown in confidence. Minor languages available: Modern Standard Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
