This route enables you to select cultural modules related to that language and/or selected from the wide range of thematic options offered across the School.On route two you choose language 1 from: French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Language 2 will be selected from: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.On both routes, you will normally spend your second or third year abroad, consolidating and enhancing your learning.
