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.
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 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.
A unique university when it comes to the study of many languages from all over the world. The strengths of this university are that here you can learn Arabic, Chinese, Korean, all European languages and the literature of America. The weaknesses are in the slowness of the bureaucracy and sometimes in the inefficiency of the offices.

Since the first year of university I have decided to undertake the study of the Russian language and of the English language and I must admit that L’Orientale has been satisfactory enough for the preparation that it has made me acquire. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to dive deeply into the study of languages and their respective cultures.
