With the world more interconnected than ever before – from the online world of social media to working in multinational businesses – being able to speak different languages is invaluable. Joining us, you’ll study one or two languages – Mandarin, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese – alongside a "minor" in Catalan, Mandarin, Arabic or Japanese. Taught by our research-led academics, you’ll learn from their range of specialisms. Benefit from their industry experience, including briefing the UK government on cultural transfers, interpreting in the UN sessions, and consulting on historical films. You’ll thrive in our small language learning labs and oral classes of no more than 15 students. And no previous knowledge is needed as we tailor each lesson to your level, from beginner to near-native speaker.
A global experienceYou won’t just study written and spoken languages, you’ll be immersed in the history, society, and literature of the nations too. You will be well-prepared and supported before and during your year abroad which offers the opportunity to put your language and intercultural skills to the test as you study or work overseas. With the support of our careers consultant, your new global expertise will open the door to exciting opportunities. Perhaps you’ll go into international journalism, teaching and translation, or work for large international companies like Kea Consultants, Condé Nast or University of Buenos Aires.

The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3.Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
