Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Modern Languages and History (R9V1)

The University of Birmingham’s fusion of language and culture places employability at its heart, preparing students to live and work as an engaged citizen of the world.

The undergraduate study of either French, German, Spanish or Russian from beginner or advanced level alongside History is highly complementary and an exciting way to contextualise students' knowledge in each discipline. Researching primary sources is a key feature of any undergraduate History degree course, and studying a language dramatically increases the range of primary sources that students will be able to access. At the University of Birmingham, language is taught through the lens of the target culture's literature, history, politics and society, and through total immersion on the Year Abroad.
