BA Language and Culture
The BA in Language and Culture is a four-year degree programme which allows students to combine the study of two or more foreign languages with a specialism in a chosen cultural field, including comparative literature, film studies, linguistics, history of art, or cultural history. The programme shares some features (such as the Year Abroad) with more traditional language degrees, but its ethos is explicitly intercultural and interdisiplinary.

Why choose BA Language and Culture?
Miranda, former BA Language and Culture student
"I chose Language and
Culture because it gave me the opportunity to study two languages and
gain a general knowledge of European culture. I am greatly interested
in history, history of art and literature and this programme allowed me
to study all three."
