CourseSummary

Our BA Modern Languages degree is specifically designed for you to develop your multilingual skills, immerse yourself in the fascinating cultures where these languages are spoken, pursue an overseas adventure, and open the doors to your global future. If you love languages and are excited by the idea of journeying abroad and becoming a global citizen in a connected world, our four-year course will ensure that your studies are both rewarding and fulfilling. You will have invaluable opportunities to meet new people from diverse cultures and backgrounds through working with our bilateral exchange partners and International Student Exchange Programs (ISEP) – a network of over 300 higher education institutions worldwide – youll have access to countries across the globe with a full year abroad in your third year. For example, recently, our students have been on year-long study abroad placements in countries ranging from Costa Rica and Mexico to Taiwan and Quebec.

The course offers you a unique opportunity to grow your linguistic and communication skills while gaining a deep understanding of the histories, philosophies, identities and cultures of the countries whose languages you choose to study. Youll learn about society, tradition, food, music, dance, sustainability and everything in between, whilst exploring the complex relationships between global languages and civilizations. Youll study the politics of different countries, witness contrasting views, opinions and perspectives, and develop an understanding of how significant events within the last century have impacted major debates in the world today.

You will tailor your learning with us according to one of our specialist pathways, choosing studies that focus on Chinese and Spanish, Chinese and French, French and Spanish, or Spanish and Latin American Studies. Whichever pathway you choose, you will share a common first year with your fellow students and will have the option to learn an extra subsidiary language on top of your core choices. We have various language learning levels ranging from beginner right through to A Level learning. In addition, as a student at the University of Chester, youll have part-time language taster courses and language evening classes available to you for free while you study.

If you're unable to embark on a four-year journey with us, spend a full year abroad, or travel, we do offer a three-year alternative for this course where you can still take a combination of one, two or three languages.
