Study at a partner universityTo join this course, you’ll need to have previously studied one or two languages. Once you join us, we’ll closely monitor your performance to ensure you’re ready for the challenge of a placement year abroad and completing a postgraduate qualification in just four years.You’ll kickstart your studies at Lancaster exploring areas such as advanced grammar and translation, then advance into your second year in Europe. Our partner universities in France, Germany and Spain are familiar with this programme and make sure you cover all the vital Year 2 subjects while you’re away. If you’re studying two languages, you’ll split the year between the two countries.

In your final year, you’ll be working at postgraduate level with a fresh choice of topics followed by your postgraduate dissertation. Your dissertation topics provide the chance to dive deep into a subject of your choice. Perhaps you have a favourite piece of work you want to translate with a critical eye? Or maybe you want to dive into research about different dialects?By the end of the course, you’ll be extremely resilient on a personal and professional level. Although the course is intense, we’ll provide all the support you need, from preparation sessions for your international placement year to workshops that will get you ready for a career as a language graduate. We also offer resilience training as we recognise the importance of the mental wellbeing of our students.

This is intensive but rewarding, and adds another dimension to your knowledge of modern languages.
