Learn two major world languages from scratch and deepen your understanding of the modern world by exploring the history and culture of the nations that speak them on this fascinating 5-year course.
You will have the opportunity to spend two years abroad, with a year in Italy and another in Japan, which will provide you with invaluable first-hand experience of the languages and let you fully immerse yourself in the cultures of the regions.
A combination of core and optional modules will give you a firm grounding in the languages while you study the topics that suit your interests including medieval and Renaissance art and literature, cinema, specialised uses of Italian in business, Sino-Japanese relations and East Asian religions.
