Break down barriers of language and culture with a unique combination of advanced language studies and training in translation and media.
This distinctive and flexible course reflects the global need for skilled language and media professionals. You’ll study French, Spanish or Japanese to degree level, as well as choosing from a range of specialist modules in translation, media, culture, and society. You’ll be introduced to a range of specialist translation skills and will learn about how translation is practiced across different media and genres. You’ll have the opportunity to gain translation work experience and subtitling and dubbing skills. You can also take another language, such as Arabic, BSL, Chinese or German, subject to availability.
Our language lab provides access to cutting-edge translation and interpreting technologies, and we offer a huge range of activities for you to get involved in! Recent examples include our Love Languages Day, Japanese cultural events and Creative Translation for Schools project.
In your third year, you'll enhance your experience of language and culture by living in a country where your chosen degree language is spoken.
