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.

Arabic Language ...24 Jan, 2020
StudentTaking SU to courtI’m taking Stockholm University to court for their criminal negligence in ignoring my requests over the past 1.5 years for conflict resolution services because my master’s thesis supervisor sabotaged my research and then blocked access to further educational resources by instructing my department not to communicate with me in any capacity.
This is not just a departmental problem, but a university wide problem where the faculty have turned a blind eye to the Asian, Middle Eastern, and Turkish Studies department’s wild misconduct in terms of discrimination against students.
The uni even went so far as to change their examination regulations for first and second cycle studies at Stockholm University after I brought to the attention of the faculty the sections of the regulations which the staff in the Middle Eastern Studies dept violated to discriminate against me.
