This section provides an outline of the content of this Another Subject plus a Modern Language (Arts and Social Science Subjects) course. Each year you'll study a series of modules, some of these are compulsory and others can be selected from a range of optional modules.

Language:
In addition to the language the syllabus includes a broad range of stimulating options. First-year courses include an introduction to the history, culture, cinema and literatures of Europe. Second- and final-year options offer increasing levels of specialisation as you proceed towards your degree. They cover a wide variety of cultural and literary material from various centuries but with emphasis on the modern period. All the languages offer modules on the history, cinema and media of their linguistic area. If you are studying language as a minor component you will take core language modules only.

Other subject:
See subject-specific pages. 

Residence Abroad:
The third year is spent abroad. Your main options are:

• Study at one of our Erasmus partner universities (see language-specific pages for lists of partner institutions in the various countries).
• A paid work placement as an English assistant in schools.
• An approved work placement.

For more on studying degree courses see our Study at Bangor section.

You will have 3-4 hours of language classes each week plus classes in your other chosen modules. Tuition is mainly in small groups and there are few formal lectures.

Assessment involves coursework and written and oral examinations. You will also complete a dissertation as part of your degree.

Studying Modern Languages opens the door to a wide variety of careers. Many Bangor Modern Languages graduates have, of course, gone into teaching and translating, but just as many have embarked upon successful careers in the civil service, business and commerce, industry and the media. The skills you learn whilst studying languages - cultural awareness, communication, accuracy, planning and logical analysis - are valued highly by employers from all sectors of the economy.
