In this course you can combine one language (Chinese, French, German or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level) and English Literature. On the language side of the course, you will develop written (e.g. translation) and oral skills and will learn about cultural aspects related to the chosen language. In addition will study a broad range of English literature, developing skills in critical analysis and imaginative problem solving relevant to a range of career paths.

All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.

Optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. Within English Literature, you will have the opportunity to study modules that focus on a variety of aspects of writing from medieval literature right through to contemporary literature. The range of modules on offer means you will be able to develop and explore your own interests.

There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students. These include cultural and social events organised by student-run societies in the academic departments. In addition, Pontio – Bangor Universitys Arts and Innovation Centre – means that there will be a range of plays, films and other performances only a short walk away from where many of your classes will be taking place.

Why choose Bangor University for this course?

  • Research-led teaching.
  • The fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons during a year abroad.
