Students also have the option to start a new beginners’ language in Year Two.

In this programme, students may study French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Italian from beginners’ or A level; and Catalan, Basque and Portuguese can be taken from beginners’ level. Students will learn to speak, listen, read, write and translate to a high level in their chosen languages. There is an emphasis on languages in the context of contemporary culture and society and on their social and professional relevance. In each year of the studies, students will take six language modules (two per language), and choose two optional modules from different language areas.

The programme includes a compulsory Year Abroad split between at least two of the languages. Students may spend the time abroad at a university, as an assistant in a school, or on a work placement.
