Key facts
Year One
In your first year at Lancaster University’s Modern Languages (Hons), you can choose to study:
- three languages at advanced level
- or two languages at advanced level and one at beginner level
You will focus on developing linguistic fluency as well as learning about the cultural contexts of your chosen languages.
Year Two
You will develop your language skills and also study the cultural, political and historical context of your chosen languages in more depth.
There are two possible routes through the second year:
Route A - Chinese / French / German / Spanish

Year Three - International Placement Year
Spending your third year abroad makes a major contribution to your language ability, while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You will spend time in two countries where your major languages are spoken. You can either study at a partner institution or conduct a work placement.
We also encourage you to spend some vacation time in the country of your third language, and the department may be able to offer opportunities to apply for funding to support this.
Year Four
Back at Lancaster in the fourth year, you will consolidate your multiple language skills alongside language-specific cultural modules such as ‘Sinophone Literature and Film’ or ‘Latin America and Spain on Film: Violence and Masculinities’. You can also take comparative courses which allow you to see the languages and cultures you're studying in a global context.
