Why study Modern Languages at Bristol? The School of Modern Languages has an international reputation for research and scholarship which informs our courses at all levels. This is supported by professional language teaching provided by experts in both beginners’ and advanced-level language acquisition. Our optional units allow you to study many aspects of the culture, politics and society of the countries where your chosen languages are spoken.
One of the highlights of studying modern languages at Bristol is the year abroad where you can immerse yourself in your chosen language and culture; students have travelled as far afield as Haiti, Argentina, Mexico, French Guiana and Kazakhstan.
Bristol is an exciting place to study arts and humanities. There is a thriving cultural life with several art cinemas, concert halls and theatres, and a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Our BA Modern Languages course enables you to master three languages and focus deeply on the technical aspects of language and linguistics, without neglecting the challenge of studying cultural and political history, literature and society.
Modern languages students at Bristol benefit from a state-of-the-art multimedia centre with access to over 2,000 films, a mini-cinema, foreign satellite channels, a magazine library and a recording studio.
Recent graduates have entered careers in teaching, translating, academia, finance, industry, publishing, the media, law, travel, and British and international civil services. Many of these careers directly utilise the language competency and cultural understanding you gain during your studies.
