Undergraduate

Law and Languages

UK University

Overview

This page covers Law and Languages 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 lets you specialise in a period, an author or a region in the later stages.

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.

Careers opportunities

  • Localisation specialist
  • International account or project manager
  • Language teacher
  • Policy or research officer
