Course overview
Why study
BA Modern Languages at Aberystwyth University? We believe that our students should be fully immersed in the languages they study. Our close-knit international community encourages our students to use these languages in their daily lives, and we also offer opportunities for students to study abroad.
You can choose to study French, German, Spanish and Italian. On your Year Abroad, your time is usually split between two countries to facilitate your total immersion in more than one language and culture. We are committed to offering you opportunities to develop your language skills, and to learn about, enjoy and embrace the cultures of the countries in which the languages you study are spoken.
The Year Abroad will enable you to master the languages you have chosen, and will give you possibly the best year of your life. This course will also provide you with the opportunity to study a wide range of specialised modules in literature and culture, as well as language. All of the lecturers in the Department of Modern Languages are qualified to PhD level and are research active specialists in their chosen field.
We also employ highly qualified and experienced language tutors, and native-speakers, who will ensure that your learning is of the highest possible quality and who will provide you with constant support through your years of study.
