At Chester, you will have the chance to undertake a short placement at the end of Year 2 (Level 5) as well as the opportunity to spend an academic year in a French-speaking country. If this is an option for you, it allows you to split your experience of residence abroad, offering you the chance to spend time on different types of placement and, indeed, in different countries. From the second year, it is possible to change to a three-year pathway without the year abroad.
In your first year, you will have the opportunity to study a further language from scratch.
Our Languages For All program allows you to also study one of eleven languages at a range of levels in addition to your degree. Fees are fully reimbursed on completion of the course.
We have linked all over the world, allowing our students to study in other countries. These placements provide invaluable experience of living and working or studying abroad.
