Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Modern Languages and International Relations (R9L2)

Study a modern language, and gain a broader view of the contemporary world’s most pressing problems, with University of Reading's BA Modern Languages and International Relations degree. This highly flexible degree enables students to study a modern language – choosing from core languages of French, German, Italian and Spanish – alongside students' studies in international relations.

The study of language includes cultural modules that develop students' understanding of the cultures of the countries in which the language is spoken, from their literary and cinematic traditions to their history, politics and linguistics. As well as complementing their joint studies, this enables students to develop as a specialist with an international, comparative approach.

Between the second and final year, students will spend a year abroad to expand their linguistic skills and intercultural understanding. Students can choose to study at a partner university, go on a work placement, or work as a language teaching assistant.
