Overview

This page covers International Relations and German (with a year abroad) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Languages and Area Studies expects a high level of written English from the first week, which is why the language bar sits above the usual level.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
