BA (Hons) Modern Languages with Translation with a placement year in Banbury United Kingdom | Oxford Brookes University

Our Modern Languages with Translation program caters to students at all proficiency levels, offering two distinct pathways: beginner or intermediate tracks.

You can enroll without prior language experience, selecting from French, Spanish, Mandarin, or Japanese. We'll guide you from foundational skills to fluency throughout your studies.

For those with existing language abilities, we'll help you reach advanced competency (C1 level) in your primary language (French, Spanish, or EFL) while offering the option to study a secondary language (Chinese, French, Japanese, or Spanish).

Beyond language acquisition, you'll develop essential global competencies. The curriculum examines cultural identities, traditions, and even humor across societies, while providing practical translation skills sought by international employers. You can complement your studies with electives in Business, International Relations, Politics, and Education, covering topics like Marketing Management or Violence, Militarism and Terrorism.

Program duration: 3 years full-time, or 4 years with an optional placement year
