Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    4 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
In your first, second and final years you will take modules in your chosen language and the literature, culture, history and linguistics related to it, as well as modules in your other discipline. You may also take modules offered by the School of European Languages, Culture & Society (SELCS), which offer an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on the full range of specialisms within the school.
Combinations of a language 'and' another discipline are studied on a 50/50 ratio. Combinations 'with' are studied on a 75/25 ratio.
Your third year is spent abroad in a country where your chosen language is spoken, studying at a university, working as a British Council language assistant or doing a work placement. We expect graduates to achieve the same linguistic competence whether or not they started from scratch.

About this course

UCL provides an ideal environment for language study; we offer an enormous range of languages and state-of-the-art facilities, including a well-equipped language learning suite. This innovative degree allows you to combine a language with another discipline taught at UCL.
The School of European Languages, Culture and Society offers a wide range of languages including Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Scandinavian Languages. There are specialist libraries for each language and high-level research.
UCL has a large international population, and you will have many opportunities to practise and speak your chosen languages with native speakers and learn about the associated culture and society.
Our location in a cosmopolitan city provides access to frequent and varied cultural events, a huge range of museums, specialist libraries and bookshops, theatres, cinemas, cuisines and cultural societies.

There are many career opportunities for UCL's modern language graduates, and we embed within our teaching the acquisition of transferable skills as well as linguistic and cultural knowledge.
Career paths for modern language graduates include the financial sector, the civil service, journalism, accountancy, publishing, education, advertising, the media and law. Some graduates pursue careers that make special use of their language skills, including translating, interpreting and teaching; others continue with training and research.

English Language at grade B or 6, plus Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required
