BA (Hons) Language Studies

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

On our BA Language Studies, you become proficient in one or more of the modern languages taught at Essex; French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. These languages can be studied alongside the language expert modules which cover a range of cultural and professional skills.

For most of our languages, we offer modules in all six different levels recognized by the Common European Framework, enabling you to study from almost any level of expertise. Of the four modules you take in your final year, two must be taken to Proficiency level (C1), and the other two must be taken to Intermediate level (B1).

Each of these languages is widely used in the business world, and so many of our graduates are recruited by international firms looking for language specialists, and go on to develop successful global careers. Others join a teacher-training program after leaving and become expert teachers of the language they studied at Essex.
