International Relations and French BSc

Course Overview

Crucially, Aston languages degrees aim to prepare you for working life in the 21st century at a time when the world of employment is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence and automation. In this context, they focus closely on helping you develop excellent intercultural understanding, the power of persuasion, empathy, and skills for deep-listening, problem-solving and cross-systems thinking. They also offer a series of modules focused on routes into employment, not only in the language industries but right across professional life. In the final stage of our language degrees, it is possible for students to take a series of modules that lead to an additional €˜Translation Studies exit award. By acquiring intercultural communication competencies, technological skills, and negotiation skills in multicultural contexts, our graduates become equipped for successful careers in the growing international language industries. The value of a language degree is all the greater when combined with a discipline like international relations. Astons International Relations and French degree course offer something quite different. The course takes an applied approach to the teaching of international relations and French through the integrated placement year and professionally relevant modules, focusing on topics of contemporary social and political interest.
