Leicester is one of the top ten places in the UK to study Modern Languages (The Guardian University Guide 2021), with 96% employability after graduating, and we tend to rank high for student satisfaction in the annual National Student Survey.You can study your chosen foreign language at Beginners or Advanced level. If you have already taken an A-level in either French/Italian/Spanish you would start at Advanced Level. If you have an A-level in another foreign language then you can begin studying your chosen modern language at Beginners Level.Throughout the course you will develop your writing skills in the target language through the production of short pieces of creative writing and other activities such as online language learning and the use of materials taken from television and radio, with oral teaching conducted in small groups, mostly by native speakers.Developing your foreign language skills gives you a powerful advantage in business and opens up a wide and exciting range of careers.
