    Course description

    Studying a joint honours course over 4 years at Manchester gives you a thorough grounding in the language, culture and society of both of your chosen subjects.  

    You study core language courses in each language, and have the opportunity to choose from a very wide range of more specialised optional courses; this enables you to build up a distinctive academic profile. The degree is awarded as a single class, based on the marks achieved in both languages.

    Special features

    Only one language needs to have been studied at A Level.  All of our other languages can be studied ab initio (with the exception of French which must be achieved at grade A at A-Level)

    If both languages have been studied to A Level standard you may wish to consider our Masters of Modern Languages degree (insert appropriate link to MML)

    Our Modern Language courses stand out both in terms of language provision and the non-language courses available.  Native speakers will help you to develop your speaking and listening proficiency.

    All of our courses have a rigorous language component across all four years of study and allow you to explore all sorts of areas of culture and society.
    We offer a wide range of modules and free option choices on most of our courses.

    Course content for year 1
    Your first year will introduce you to a range of disciplines and your time will be split equally across your subjects with 60 credits being studied in each language.  As well as studying content courses in areas such as literature, history, society and culture, you will be trained in the modern spoken and written language through a compulsory core language course.

    Course content for year 2
    As you move into your second year you can choose to maintain an equal weighting between the two languages or devote more time to one or the other (up to 80 credits).  The core language course is organised along the lines of the first-year course, though at a more advanced level, while the optional course units available in your second year are more numerous and specialised than before.
     
    Course content for year 3
    Your third year of study is spent abroad under approved conditions.  Abroad

    Course content for year 4
    On your return to Manchester you will move into your final year of study.  In your final year you can again choose to both languages equally or devote more of your study time to the field you prefer.  Your studies will be more focussed and you will select courses from a series of broad-based units on key areas of culture, language and society
