Overview

Our Modern Languages BA at Queen Mary University of London will let you study one or two languages – Mandarin, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese – alongside a “minor” in Catalan, Mandarin, Arabic or Japanese. Taught by our research-led academics, you’ll learn from their range of specialisms. Benefit from their industry experience, including briefing the UK government on cultural transfers, interpreting in the UN sessions, and consulting on historical films.

Careers

High-level skills in one or more languages will give you international mobility and an advantage in the job market in the UK, Europe or beyond. Your year abroad will also build your confidence and boost your employability.

Some of our students apply their degree knowledge directly, entering careers such as journalism, interpreting and teaching. Others transfer their communication, research and analytical skills into the arts, publishing, finance, business or IT.
