Pursuing a career in translation or interpretation offers thrilling opportunities, and our Modern Languages and Translation BA equips you with essential skills while immersing you in foreign language studies. As an advanced learner, you'll begin translating and interpreting into your target language right from the start.
The University of Leicester ranks among the UK's top ten institutions for Modern Languages (The Guardian University Guide 2021) and consistently achieves high marks for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey.
You'll focus on one advanced language (select from French, Italian, or Spanish), balancing translation theory and practice with language development while exploring the cultural, political, and social influences that have shaped your chosen country.
After your first year, you'll participate in our partially-funded two-week summer program featuring intensive language instruction, cultural experiences, and homestay accommodations.
Year Abroad Cost: £4,550 (25% of full-time tuition fees)
