Combine your studies in your language of choice with a deep dive into the periods of History which interest you the most. Study a modern language from beginner or advanced level - choose from French, German, or Spanish. Experience a new approach to language learning with our CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) teaching method - study topics of cultural significance, designed and delivered by expert researchers. Pursue your passions with a wide range of specialist optional modules, spanning a huge chronological range and most of the globe. Our History modules explore how the past informs the present and provides a global historical understanding from the Middle Ages to this century, all through a modern lens. Learn in a vibrant city that is culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse. Join our language and culture-based societies to further enhance your skills and contribute to the student-led Linguist Magazine. You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed. Methods will vary but may include coursework (e.g., essays), group or individual presentations and projects, exams, reports or computer-based assignments.
