This course is designed for students who want to acquire a high level of expertise in three languages other than their own. It caters for those who prefer to concentrate exclusively on language learning, without any literature. The course is intended to appeal to people from different countries of the world, coming to work together in a multilingual learning society. With quadrilingual language skills, graduates of these courses will be equipped to succeed in their chosen professions in every continent. You may not study your native or first language. All three languages studied for all four years of the course focus exclusively on practical language. Chinese can be studied at joint honours level in combination with another language or a variety of other subjects, with both subjects studied in equal proportions. These courses will provide you with advanced skills in the Mandarin language and a broad range of specialised and detailed insights into Chinese culture, society and history.

These modules also foster cultural awareness, which you will need for your year abroad, and later on, for the world of work.

Spanish is the major subject which counts for two-thirds of your degree, and French is the minor subject which counts for the remaining third.
