Languages and Culture (Undergraduate Programmes)

The linguistic and cultural diversity of Central and Eastern Europe is one of the richest on the continent. At SSEES you can explore this astonishing diversity on a broad range of language and culture courses, which are unparalleled in the UK.

We offer 9 languages from the region at BA level. You can choose any one of these languages as the focus of a Single Honours degree, or you can choose any two of them for a combined degree. You can also combine any language of the SSEES region with a language from the School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS) such as French, German, Italian, Spanish etc. This gives over 240 language combinations at UCL! 

Our Degrees

Please refer the UCL Prospectus for details of all available language combinations and entry requirements, or contact us directly for guidance.
