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.

    Amazing Professors, Courses and Buildings

    Edinburgh Napier University is an excellent university. The amount of support everyone receives from the professors is astounding, classes are very well organised (most of the time) and above all, my course is very well-structured. I am in my final year studying languages, and I have loved my programme. The course itself had many interesting modules throughout the years – sociology, communications, culture and history, which I believe related all very well to the languages I was studying as well. The modules were also never packed with people, which I liked, as it created a safe space between us and the professors, which in a programme such as languages is essential. The professors always provided extraordinary help, I never felt like I was falling behind in classes, and if I was overwhelmed with the amount of work, they made sure I would contact them in time to get an extension or explain something better and work with me during the stressful time.

    On top of the module and the professors, I think the campuses across Edinburgh deserve a highlight. There are three main campuses at Edinburgh Napier – the two more central ones being my favourite. The IT campus has a library which is open 24/7, which has saved me countless times during times when I just needed a change in scenery.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend Edinburgh Napier as a whole. I have met some of the most amazing people at university, and I have never felt so accepted before as an international student. All the people working for the university made such a difference in my studies, which were already amazing due to the well-structured and interesting course I was following. It may not be the same for everyone, since courses vary a lot, but my professors and my course in general has offered me the best 3 years of my life so far.

    Different and refreshing

    I had lived in Italy since I was nineteen. During the last year of high school, I remember that my major interests were a business-related subject and languages and since I could not find anything like that in my country I applied to attend University in Scotland. I think my program of studies is something completely different to what you normally find in a business school and the incredible thing about it, and about my university in general, is that is focused on the development of the students offering them a compulsory third year abroad to practice one of the languages that are studied while attending the degree. Furthermore, the teachers are extremely professional and kind to their students helping them as they are facing troubles.
