Program Description

You can expand your knowledge of culture and politics with our degree in languages and international relations. You can also study up to two languages, chosen from Mandarin, Spanish, French or Italian, at a level that suits you. This will enable you to take a final-year work placement in an international organisation. Taking part in an Erasmus+ student exchange is also an option.

Our languages and international relations graduates develop valuable transferable skills that are attractive to employers, including an ability to communicate across cultures.
