Overview

This page covers Portuguese and Modern Greek 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 Iberian Studies is seminar led, with close reading and regular written assessment rather than examinations.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 7.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £37,380 to £62,820 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Careers opportunities

Very few graduates are employed to translate full time, and the ones who are usually specialise in law, medicine or technology as well. What the market actually buys is a second language attached to another skill, so the strongest destinations pair the language with commerce, policy or teaching.

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