This course expands your horizons and achieves fluency in two languages by immersing yourself in the history and cultures of the French- and German-speaking worlds. Through this course, you will be able to confidently speak and write in both French and German, in both formal and informal contexts. We’re proud of our small language classes, led by native speakers. Direct access to expert staff for help and feedback ensures you develop your language skills to the best of your ability. You will learn both languages in the political, social and cultural contexts of the countries in which they are spoken. This not only considerably enhances your understanding of the languages, but also provides you with the knowledge to live and work in these countries, as well as enter professional roles with global companies which operate in and interact with them. An integral part of the course is the opportunity to study or work abroad during your third year. You will split your time equally between German- and French-speaking countries (six months in each), studying at a university or working on a placement. It allows you to directly immerse yourself in the culture and greatly improve your knowledge of both German and French. The course provides you with numerous transferable skills in research, analysis, presenting and group working. The experience of studying or working abroad also distinguishes you from non-language graduates, providing evidence of self-reliance, adaptability and enterprise.
