Course Overview

The Languages for Global Communication BA (Hons) is designed to help graduates to become effective intercultural communicators who are able to bring a highly desirable set of aptitudes to a range of employment roles (e.g. translation, teaching, diplomatic services, business, police force) and environments (e.g. public sector, private businesses, and educational establishments). The course emphasizes the study of French, Spanish, and Mandarin. There are opportunities to study other languages as well (German, Italian, Japanese). Students whose first Language (L1) is not English will have an opportunity to learn English as a Second Language. The course addresses widely identified future workforce skills needs in language, communicative and intercultural competencies (Confederation of British Industry (CBI) / Pearson Education and Skills Surveys). The course will offer students a chance to learn languages through a flexible and integrated subject and skills€“based curriculum that is predominantly focused on international business contexts, intercultural studies, international relations, translation, and language learning theory.
