This course combines the broad historical knowledge and well-developed research skills gained in a History degree with the in-depth cultural awareness and advanced linguistic skills that come from studying a language and the cultures in which it is spoken.You can choose to study French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. All languages can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only.You will join two large departments with researchers in a great diversity of fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines while also considering the relationships between them.

You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers, and talent shows.Teaching happens through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision.
