**Overview** Would you like to help people, organisations and countries communicate more effectively? On this course, you’ll use exciting contemporary materials, state-of-the-art technology and study with native speakers and translation and intercultural communication experts to transcend language barriers as you develop your chosen language to a high level of competence. You’ll hone your ability to develop and present sophisticated arguments in English and in your second language (French, Japanese or Spanish), and learn to speak, understand and write with precision, variety, and accuracy. You’ll develop the skills for engaging in debates and supporting your opinions. By the end of your degree, you’ll be able to demonstrate critical thinking, sophisticated expression, and independence in your chosen language. These are key skills for many employers, as are the tremendous flexibility and adaptability that you’ll acquire on your year abroad. You’ll also discover new perspectives by exploring intercultural communication, translation and other applied language study which will help you to be effective in the communication networks of today’s globalised world. **About This Course** Alongside developing your language competence, you’ll take modules that explore the role of language, translation and intercultural communication in today’s global communication networks. The language-learning element of your degree will involve translation from and to English, reading and listening comprehension, précis and paraphrase work, the study of different styles and registers, lexical exercises, and oral work. Since presentation skills are vital in the contemporary work environment, you’ll focus on vocal and physical projection, developing poise and managing nerves. You’ll also practise speaking from notes, improvisation, and structuring arguments coherently. In all of these activities, you’ll use contemporary rather than literary or historical materials. You can take another language as part of your degree or as a non-credit module with certification. Subject to availability, you can choose from Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Advanced English. You’ll spend your third year in a country where your degree language is spoken. During this year, you’ll deepen your experience of the language and culture by either studying at a local university, taking up a teaching assistantship or going on a suitable work placement. If you are studying Japanese, you will attend one of our partner universities in Japan. We have exchange links with many universities in France and Spain, as well as links with universities in Japan, Canada and Latin America, including Mexico, Uruguay and Chile. **Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
