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.

One of the best universities in Greece. The most of professors are good but facilities need an improvement. The location is excellent in the centre of the city but in a very old building. A renovation is necessary for sure!

The professors are very nice and fair 🙂 The facilities are OK. I liked the fact that many colleagues got the passion to continue studying, by the passion of the professors. I would prefer some changes to the curriculum, however as an overall experience, I had a great time me and my colleagues

It is very unorganized as a system, they cannot provide us with books which are necessary for my Major, overall the professors are good. Some times we don’t have classes and the professors are a bit unorganized in a matter of what they should teach us since all students don’t have the same status in the language I am studying.
