Course summary

This combination of languages equips you with a strategic knowledge and skillset that is highly valued in many international fields. French is the official language in 29 countries, and Portuguese is the sixth-largest language in the world, spoken by over 270 million people in over 10 countries. Combining study in these two languages can open a range of global graduate possibilities, from marketing, business and translation to teaching and the arts and cultural sector. Experience a new approach to language learning with our CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) teaching method - study topics of cultural significance in French and Portuguese, designed and delivered by expert researchers. Learn in a vibrant city that is culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse. Join our language and culture-based societies to further enhance your skills and contribute to the student-led Linguist Magazine. Enjoy focused academic contact – We pride ourselves on competitive contact hours. These take place in small groups, encouraging active language learning through engagement with cultural material. You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed. Methods will vary but may include coursework (e.g., essays), group or individual presentations and projects, exams, reports or computer-based assignments.
