What Is a Modern Languages Degree?
Nowadays, more and more students start to pursue a degree in modern languages. A modern languages degree is not only related to learning a new language but also understand the cultural context of the countries in which the language is spoken.
Candidates studying a modern languages course will also be given knowledge and experience of the political and historical contexts of a particular region. On top of that, the use of literary texts and media will develop not only their skills but also their perception about learning a different language.
Benefits of a Modern Languages Degree
Due to the increased globalisation, there is a high demand for modern languages graduates. The ability to communicate in another language and understand its background is a major advantage.
Modern Language courses are designed to give students transferable skills, which can be applied in all areas of activity. Candidates will have high communication skills, accompanied by data collection and interpreting skills, which are appreciated by employers, regardless of your career choice.
Modern Languages Degree Structure
Modern Languages Degrees are four years commitments, out of which one semester or a year should be spent abroad – in a partnered institution. This gives students the opportunity to practice the language they are studying and understand a new culture.
Modern Languages is a degree that can be studied either as a single honour degree or a joint honour degree. This gives students the ability to combine modern language with another course such as politics, literature, history and many others.

GuillermoMagnificent location and high level of educationI had the pleasure of being part of HTW Dresden for a year and the experience could not be better. The university was super well located, next to the financial center of the city so the communications were very good. I must also say that usually, Dresden has a wonderful transport system that works 24 hours a day. In addition, both the building and the university classrooms were very well located and had a wonderful dining room (Mensa) with very good food and a very good price.

On the other hand and in terms of the educational level of the university it seems very good. The teachers have a high level and are very demanding what makes it necessary to give your best every day to get good results.
It also has a wide variety of subjects and in some of them you have a direct relationship with companies, so it makes teaching practical and helps to introduce you to the world of work since these experiences are real and therefore very enriching.
For all these kinds of things, I highly recommend this university as I believe it has a wonderful level of education and also in an environment and a city with thousands of students that makes the life experience comforting.Programme: Business EnglishDegree: Bachelor'sGraduation: 2016Campus: Dresden -

Also the university has very good agreements with local companies so you can have some modules mixed between a kind of internship and normal lessons that make the learning much more productive.
