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.

    Overall a good university, but...

    I started university with a lot of expectations. The degree I chose was Modern languages, culture and communication, and it sounded so interesting that I could choose two languages to study in deep. The ones I chose were English and Japanese. Whereas some subjects are interesting and fun, some teachers make others tiresome. However, the university has a lot of positive experiences, like meeting awesome new people and joining the language school, which has great teachers. I think the university should improve how certain degrees and subjects are organised. That way the university life would improve a lot!

    An acceptable place to study

    As a student at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting of the UAB, I think the facilities are adequate in general, but sometimes the space of some classrooms is very small and the chairs are quite uncomfortable and there is no reprography service in the building. There is a cafeteria next to the building, but the prices are too high. The library has many meeting rooms and positions to study. I also see very positive the initiative to leave the Library of Social Sciences open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to go to study.
