Course overview
Do you feel there is more to the past than just the UKs perspective? Are you ready to examine history through the lens of other cultures, other ideologies and other languages?
This course allows you to combine your passion for language learning with your curiosity for exploring the past. Through combining one or two European languages with history youll gain access not only to additional source texts, but also a whole new way of understanding the societies and cultures of contemporary Europe.
Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the language and culture of your chosen country/countries, but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone wont only benefit your degree, itll shape the person you are to become.
