Learning a language is both fascinating and challenging. Languages break down barriers, allowing us to connect globally and share experiences. In an ever more complex world language skills are more relevant than ever.
On our BA in Modern Languages, you’ll study two modern foreign languages to degree level. There are two pathways:
**Two post-A level/IB languages**
Choose from:
- French
- German
- Russian
- Spanish (including the study of Portuguese for at least one year)
**One post-A level/IB language and one beginners’ language**
You can be a complete beginner or have a GCSE. Choose from:
- French
- German
- Portuguese (cannot be combined with Russian)
- Russian
- Serbian/Croatian (only available in combinations with Russian)
- Spanish.
You can reach the same level in your beginners’ language as in your A-level language by final year.
Your degree certificate will not specify the level at which you entered the University; for instance, if you study French and German (beginners'), your degree on graduation will be French and German.
The exciting experience of the year abroad develops your communication skills, builds your confidence and helps you stand out to future employers.
Please specify in your UCAS application which language combinations you would like to study.
This course is also available with a foundation year.
Course Details - Modules
In year one, if you have three post-A level languages, you will take 40 credits in each of your three languages. This is split into 20 credits of core language modules and 20 credits of core or optional modules.
If you have two post-A level languages and one beginners' language, you will also take 40 credits in each of the languages. However, whereas in your post-A level subjects you will take 20 credits of core language and 20 credits of core or optional modules, your beginners subject will be comprised of 40 credits of core language modules.
In year two you will take 20 credits of language modules in each of your languages, and 20 credits of optional modules in each of your languages.
You will spend your third academic year abroad. You will divide your time between countries where your chosen language(s) are spoken. Depending on where your placement is, you could study at one of our exchange universities, teach on the British Council assistantship programme, or undertake a work placement with a company.
You will spend year four back at Nottingham. As with year two you will take 20 credits of language modules in each of your languages, and 20 credits of optional modules again in each of your languages.
Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
