Why study

Modern Languages / Mathematics at Aberystwyth University? You can study your choice of languages from beginners' or advanced level - choose from French, German, Spanish and Italian. Beginners will follow an intensive course in the first year.

You will typically receive 5.5 hours of linguistic and grammar classes per week. The Department of Modern Languages is a relatively small and close-knit department, which means that you will benefit from our unique approach to language development. All of our language tutors are native speakers or experts in the relevant target language.

Your year abroad will be spent in a country related to your chosen language. You can choose to study at one of our partnered universities, undertake a paid or unpaid work placement, or a combination of the two. Mathematics has been taught in Aberystwyth since 1872, so that the Department of Mathematics builds on over 150 of teaching excellence.

You will uncover a discipline that combines the identification and analysis of shapes and patterns with data collation and calculation. Both departments aim to create a friendly, open and supportive learning environment in which students are able to reach their full potential. 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. All lecturers in the Department of Mathematics are qualified to PhD level and are research active. The majority have a postgraduate teaching qualification and new staff are required to complete the PGCTHE.

The department also employs a number of part time tutors, with extensive teaching experience, and some student demonstrators, who are selected from our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
