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

Offering you the opportunity to reach a high level of competence in a modern language, our BA Language and/with Politics with Foundation Year also allows you to acquire advanced knowledge of a range of cultural topics and to develop an understanding of the nature of politics and government in contemporary societies.

You will compare and contrast the institutions and practices of government in different societies and analyse different theories of politics and government. A number of cross-cultural modules 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 Politics. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.
