Modules
During your foundation year you will develop the skills and gain the knowledge required to progress onto degree level study. In year one of degree level study (which follows your foundation year) you will take core language modules alongside a range of optional modules in fields such as politics or history. In year two, you’ll continue to follow the core language programme in your chosen language, with a particular focus on preparation for the year abroad, and you’ll select further optional modules. You will also take core modules in translation studies and linguistics, and you’ll prepare an assessed translation portfolio. Your third year will be spent abroad, dividing your time between countries where you can practise your language skills. In year four you’ll develop your command of your languages and their use in increasingly sophisticated contexts, including interpreting, alongside a translation project and optional modules drawn from a variety of areas.
