At Sussex, you don’t just learn to speak French and Spanish, you become immersed in their cultures.
You learn from experienced tutors and gain critical insights into relevant societies and their history, literature and film. As we aim for you to reach a high level of fluency, we teach almost all content in the language itself. Our Language Learning Centre has state-of-the-art technologies and resources, as well as dedicated study areas.
You can tailor your degree to your interests by studying other subjects such as international business, international education, international relations, legal studies or politics. Or, you could study a third language (Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese, French, German or Japanese) or English Language Teaching.
The experience of a year spent working or studying abroad also gives you the excellent communication skills, cultural awareness and international perspective valued by employers.
