French: A year abroad

You will have the opportunity to study and work abroad in your third year

About the course

Apply for this course
All students study two main foreign languages (French, Spanish or English as a Foreign Language) together with modules in professional translation. One of the two main languages may be at beginners’ level. In addition, students who wish to take more than two languages can choose from the options provided in the Languages for All programme open to all students at the University. You spend the third year of this four-year course abroad, studying at one of our specialist translation school partners or gaining relevant work experience, perhaps as an English-language assistant in a school or college.
