The study of modern languages is of critical importance in an age of rapidly growing contacts between nations of the world. Knowledge of another language enables the individual to become immersed in the culture, in the broadest sense, of those languages: the society they reflect, the history and literature of their speakers. The resulting familiarity with other peoples and cultures not only broadens one’s own horizons, but also paves the way to becoming a full member of the international community. Frequently, students also discover a love for a given language in and of itself, and every modern language has a rich literary heritage through which the student can explore it further.
The School of Modern Languages includes the departments of Arabic, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. All these subjects can be studied up to final year level for the MA Honours degree, or else for one, two or three years for students requiring less specific knowledge or skills. The detailed individual departmental entries show the various ways in which these languages can be studied, either by themselves or in combination with other languages or non-language subjects. There is a wide range of such subjects available for combination with any one or two of the six languages within the Arts Faculty. An exciting new subject which can be taken within the School of Modern Languages is Comparative Literature.

Whether Modern Language students begin studying a language here for the first time, or come with Higher or A-Level qualifications, programmes across the School are designed to lead them through progressively sophisticated stages culminating in admission, after two years of study, to Honours. Core language programmes at First and Second level are structurally equivalent in all six departments but their non- language course content may vary from language to language, including the study of literature, history or elementary language-specific linguistics. Students intending to study more than one language have an evenly split programme throughout the first two years.
