Home / Courses / Modern Languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Italian), BA (Hons)MODERN LANGUAGES (ARABIC, CHINESE, FRENCH, GERMAN, JAPANESE, KOREAN, RUSSIAN, SPANISH AND ITALIAN) BA (HONS)APPLY NOWA three or four-year programme, depending on whether students choose to spend a year studying abroad. Students will study two languages at the same time with the possibility of a third language later on. This course will develop formal and informal language and communication skills and will introduce students to translation and interpreting techniques. Our students also debate a range of topics, including history (current and past), politics, social and cultural issues, film and music, literature and area studies. The course will develop many other transferrable skills, such as time management and organisation; cultural understanding; working both independently and as part of a team.There will also be ample opportunities for students from the different languages represented on our various programmes to meet both academically and socially. This means that, whatever their particular course of study, students will quickly feel part of a wider group of Modern Foreign Language students in the School.All of our Modern Foreign Language courses emphasise the communicative properties of languages, and provide opportunities to develop knowledge of ‘area studies’ associated with target languages. Each programme is very versatile and can lead to a broad range of exciting careers. Assessment varies from presentations to essays to written, oral and aural exams. Students will be taught in small groups enabling good interaction with the lecturers and other students. Furthermore, tutorials are given once weekly by language assistants.WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE?FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITIESOpportunities to work or study abroad will enhance language skills, improve confidence and enable students to experience a different culture.CULTURAL CLUBSThe Korean Society is one of the top three largest societies in the University with regular K-Pop events that attract audiences from across the UK.STRONG CONNECTIONSOur Confucius Institute is a partnership between UCLan, Beijing International Studies University, and Hanban, promoting Chinese culture and LanguageEMPLOYABILITYOn completion of a language degree there will be opportunities to work nationally at various embassies, Chambers of Commerce, security services and the Foreign Office, British Aerospace, tourism, teaching and academia, finance, PR and international relations. At international level, graduates could work in finance, tourism, media and journalism, fashion, translation and interpreting, teaching and many other avenues. Our recent graduates have worked as teachers (UK and abroad), in the media, security services and business. Some have also continued to pursue further studies at postgraduate level.FACILITIESLectures and seminars will be in a classroom with video and audio facilities, including the standard teaching equipment and with full internet access allowing use of digital materials on the web.Away from the classroom students will benefit from the support of our Worldwise Learning Centre which offers the opportunity to learn one of 30 different languages through Rosetta Stone. Open all year, the Centre offers advice to anyone interested in languages, cultures, travelling, working or studying abroad. Students can learn a new language, apply for a Travel Bursary, meet industry experts and participate in many social events. The Centre can also help our students arrange further work experience as a language and enterprise buddy or an international student advisor.We house professional interpreting suites and our Confucius Institute offers the opportunity to benefit from Chinese language learning and a multitude of cultural activities. The International Institute for Korean Studies at UCLan provides a window on both of the Koreas and a similar Centre for Taiwan Studies is planned in future.CONFERENCE INTERPRETING SUITELANGUAGE LABORATORYWORLDWISE CENTRECONFUCIUS INSTITUTELINGUISTICS LABORATORYWhilst we place emphasis on the acquisition of a high-level of communicative competence in the foreign language, this is in the context of a commitment to the intellectual development of students. It is the aim of all of our courses in Modern Foreign Languages to impart a knowledge base, extend students’ capacities for analysis, critical awareness and evaluation, and develop intellectual and personal skills through discussion, debate and argument of issues arising from the materials studied. In addition, all of our courses aim to develop important transferable skills for instance problem-solving, presentation and team-working skills which can be applied to a wide range of situations.We believe that languages cannot be studied meaningfully in isolation from their cultural context. Such cultural knowledge informs many aspects of language study and becomes particularly important at higher levels of language practice. Equally, an understanding of culture and cultural contexts is important to an evaluation of customer needs and expectations in tourism and business, as well as to an evaluation of its impacts upon a culture. These factors inform all of our programmes in Modern Foreign Languages.Most tutors have many years’ experience of working with British and international students: cultural diversity is one of our distinguishing features. Most of our tutors have experience of studying or working abroad. The School of Language and Global Studies is one of the top teaching departments in the country for Modern Languages (European and Asian) and Business English. The School has recently achieved THES Award for International Student Support 2006 and British Council accreditation in 2008, as well as having its own English language examinations that run in a number of countries abroad. Many members of the Course Team are active Researchers on various fields and have books, articles and Journals published. They are also constantly looking at ways to improve our students experience and to update our courses.The School has over 30 permanent members of staff from more than 20 nationalities.Summer Mouallem (Arabic)Sunny Liu (Chinese)Feixia Yu (Chinese)Judith Broadbridge (French)Mark Orme (French)Petra Bagley (German)Silke Engelbart (German)Takako Amano (Japanese)Robert Kasza (Japanese)Hae-Sung Jeon (Korean)Esther Lopez (Spanish)Valeriy Smolienko (Russian)At the end of the course you will be able to understand the language and culture and business etiquette of your chosen language (s), and be of a level appropriate to an Honours degree where you would have developed competencies in spoken and written communication; you will have developed your abilities in an intellectual and creative way and you will have developed your interpersonal, critical self-awareness, language and problem solving skills.UNISTATS DATA AND UCAS CODESThe key information statistics for the various combinations of languages on the BA (Hons) Modern Languages course are listed below.

Our graduates are enjoying careers in many international organisations including Merill Lynch, Reuters and diplomatic embassies.LEADERS IN RESIDENCE: LYNN EVERSONLynn Everson from Lifeline Language Services talks about what skills she thinks students need, and how UCLan's Leaders in Residence programme benefits students, businesses and the university.If studied over four years, your third year is normally spent abroad in the country/countries of the main target language on a work placement, a study placement at a partner institution or as a Foreign Language Assistant in a school. This will enable you to greatly enhance your language skills and improve your confidence when communicating in the language in the international environment.You’ll also have access to international travel through the Worldwise Lingo Awards, which enables you to spend time overseas on a project related to your studies.WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY ...Lucinda HeatonModern Languages Graduate"Learning Arabic at UCLan has opened up a number of opportunities that would not have otherwise been available to me such as, exploring new cultures, taking part in internships and making lots of new friends both in the UK and abroad.All of the staff are approachable and act not just as your lecturers but as your friends making you feel at home from your very first day. The languages department at UCLan is one of the few in the country that are expanding and this gives it a vibrant atmosphere in which to study.The Worldwise Learning Centre offers a wide range of resources such as Arabic books and magazines as well free access to Rosetta Stone language software.There are a number of opportunities to travel abroad, not only during the year abroad but through UCLan travel bursaries and awards that can be used to fund placements to enhance language skills. I was able to travel to Morocco as well as Jordan during my course and as a result of my success at UCLan I am looking forward to completing my Masters degree in London."Andrew CullModern Languages Graduate"I currently work as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) in Japan and also maintain my freelance translation work as a second job. I would never have been able to get a job as an ALT without my degree, with it being one of the absolute requirements of the job, and it would have been much harder to start working as a freelance translator without qualifications past my A-Levels.During my year abroad at Yamaguchi University in Japan, I worked as an English teacher and tutor at a couple of English evening classes and at the university itself. After graduating, I made a profile on Freelance translators & Translation companies – a networking platform for translators of all languages – and began translating part-time on a freelance basis.Studying at UCLan also helped me to learn to manage my time more efficiently and to become somewhat more confident about entering my chosen profession. Have fun. Things go much more smoothly when you are relaxed enough to not let the little things bother you."
