At Leeds, you can combine history with one of eight languages. You’ll study history from a global perspective and gain fluency in your chosen language.
You’ll study a range of historical periods from the fall of the Roman Empire to the 21st century post-colonial and globalised world. Intensive language teaching will prepare you for your year abroad, where you’ll further develop your linguistic ability and confidence. You’ll explore cultures and societies across the world, focusing on the countries where your chosen language is spoken.
Optional modules enable you to enhance your translation skills or business language, as well as choose from a wide range of history topics.

By combining history with a language, you’ll gain the communication and professional skills that will prepare you for an international career in many sectors.
