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.

    Distance Learning

    Egerton University is a public university situated in Nioro-Nakuru Kenya. It is one of the oldest public universities in Kenya as it was enacted in the year 1955. The university offers diverse and market-driven academic programmes ranging from Diploma, Bachelor, Master and PhD. Programmes here are administered through both online means and physical(on campus), therefore making it easy for long-distance learners to get quality education even without physically going to class. The campus believes in experiential learning through modern learning facilities, field attachment and internship programs within and outside the country. The school has the best scholars who educate us career-wise and they offer adequate support. There is a good relationship between the students, staff and the management, however, there are a lot of security checks that sometimes lead to timewasting during the day especially if you are on campus study mode. The most precious thing about the school is the leeway to change the way we want to take our studies either physically or online means. I Would welcome anyone who wishes to study here at Egerton.

    My honest opinion

    This is quite a very good university and I always feel it doesn’t get enough credits like the other big universities in Kenya. With a campus situated on a very large piece of land which offers everything from vast areas of agricultural areas to large stations to do research on. Being one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Kenya it has consistently focused on offering quality studies and the best experiences to students. you are welcome to come and pursue your dreams here.

    Is location a factor

    Most people when checking out for a university to study in would like to know what geographical area is situated. Egerton is a top university in Kenya however its main campus can be a blessing and negative at the same time. For those who prefer to study quite far from the big urban centres then this is the university for you however for those who prefer a good university within a big town then you will probably find it hard here. It’s quite some distance from the nearest city which is Nakuru. The choice is yours to make
