Bachelor of Arts (International)
Entry Points (2018)

Course Overview
Studying a modern language to degree level involves spending a period, normally an academic year, in a country or region where the language is widely spoken. You will pursue both of your degree subjects during the period abroad. Students registered for two languages are required to spend a minimum of 12 weeks in each of the countries or regions where the
relevant languages are spoken. This will usually consist of an academic year abroad arranged by the University in one language and a summer placement arranged by the student in the other country or region.
Students not taking languages may also apply to the BA (International). In this instance students will spend a year abroad in China or North America, or on European exchanges where programmes are delivered in English.
