In this course you can combine one language (Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level) and English Literature. On the language side of the course, you will develop written (e.g. translation) and oral skills and will learn about cultural aspects related to the chosen language. In addition will study a broad range of English literature, developing skills in critical analysis and imaginative problem solving relevant to a range of career paths.
All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.
Optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. Within English Literature, you will have the opportunity to study modules that focus on a variety of aspects of writing from medieval literature right through to contemporary literature. The range of modules on offer means you will be able to develop and explore your own interests.
There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students. These include cultural and social events organised by student-run societies in the academic departments. In addition, Pontio – Bangor University’s Arts and Innovation Centre – means that there will be a range of plays, films and other performances only a short walk away from where many of your classes will be taking place.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Modern Languages (with Foundation Year) R808 or English Language and English Literature (with Foundation Year) QQCF.
