Study Languages at Bangor

Modern Languages and Cultures at Bangor means learning on a human scale; we offer facilities equal or superior to those found in many larger universities, but in an environment where everybody – students and staff – gets to know each other quickly, and where there's always someone to turn to. You are never "just a name" in our department.

Our courses

Bangor offers a targeted range of language degree courses in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Our degrees aim to accommodate those seeking to specialise in a single language as well as those who wish to study 2 or even three languages together. We also offer degree options where you can study a language in combination with another subject.
