Language And/With English (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) With Foundation Year (Ba): 6-Year, Part-Time

Our BA Language and/with English with Foundation Year combines studying a modern language (French, German, Italian, Japanese or Spanish) and its associated culture with English literature. Gain a thorough grounding in different areas of English literature and engage imaginatively in the reading and analysis of literary texts from all periods, from the Anglo-Saxon to the present day. Develop a critical approach, so that you can put your own and others' work in context. You will also have the opportunity to study a number of cross-cultural modules that will allow you to explore specific themes across a variety of language-speaking areas.

Before proceeding to the main degree, you will spend your Foundation Year preparing yourself for a degree in the arts by improving your study and research skills and gaining arts-related knowledge and understanding. You will also have the opportunity to take a language module as part of the Foundation Year.

Our part-time Foundation Year degrees allow you to spread out your Foundation Year studies over two years. As the 'Foundation Year' is made up of 120 credits, as a part-time student you can take 60 credits in each of your first and second years before starting the main four-year BA Language and/with English. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.
