On this BA (Hons) International Development and Languages degree course, you'll study one language at beginner's level (French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese) or post-A level (French, Spanish). These three languages are spoken as first or second languages by 1,930 billion people worldwide.

You'll get full support to build your language skills to fluency alongside opportunities to apply your learning to work with not-for-profit organisations in developing countries on placement.
