University of St Andrews Speciality : Modern Languages
programme: Modern Languages

The university is well structured and as a modern languages student, I have the opportunity to study many different things across multiple themes/topics. I am given chances to practise all communication skills across the languages that I study.

As a Modern Languages student, my studies at St Andrews have allowed me to explore aspects of language and culture to an extensive degree. I love that I have not only improved my grammar knowledge, but also my knowledge of French and Spanish history, literature and culture. The teaching format is ideal, as the smaller tutorial sessions have improved my confidence in my speaking abilities and promoted individual learning and discussion beyond the large lecture halls.
I personally love St Andrews for its size. I would feel lost in a massive city with thousands of people. I also love the history and that you are surrounded by ancient architecture. The different historic traditions throughout the year are what truly make St Andrews University stand out for me and ensures you feel part of the close-knit community of students.
