Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Modern Languages (R901)

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 BA Modern Languages degree is flexible and students can choose to study one, two or three languages.

Students can focus on one language as long as it is at Advanced level and they have studied that language at A Level: French, German, Italian, or Spanish.

Russian is also an option at Advanced level but it can't be studied on its own so students would need to study another language at Advanced or Beginner level.

Students can study up to three languages at Advanced level or study a combination of Advanced and Beginner languages. Students can even start two languages from scratch without taking an Advanced language, as long as one of these is French or Spanish. Languages offered from beginner level include French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Chinese and Japanese.

One of the most exciting elements of this degree in Modern Languages is the opportunity to spend the third year abroad.

There are some combinations the University of Birmingham aren't able to offer due to timetabling restrictions.
