Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Modern Languages and English (7Q6Q)

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.

Studying a modern language from beginner or advanced level (French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish or Portuguese), alongside English is highly complementary and an exciting way to contextualise students' knowledge in each discipline. At the University of Birmingham, undergraduate language is taught through the lens of the target culture's literature, history, politics and society, and through total immersion on the Year Abroad. Please note that not all combinations are available due to timetable restrictions.

The undergraduate English Literature pathway allows students to study the ways in which literary culture has engaged with and shaped society and how it continues to do so today. Students will benefit from unparalleled resources, such as the study of Shakespeare through the Shakespeare Institute and exciting new collaboration with the RSC. The English Language pathway will develop students' understanding of the linguistic, social and political issues surrounding language.
