This course is designed for students who want to acquire a high level of expertise in three languages other than their own. It caters for those who prefer to concentrate exclusively on language learning, without any literature. The course is intended to appeal to people from different countries of the world, coming to work together in a multilingual learning society. With quadrilingual language skills, graduates of these courses will be equipped to succeed in their chosen professions in every continent. You may not study your native/first language.

Course format:

• All three languages studied for all four years of the course focus exclusively on practical language
• Three semesters spent at universities outside the UK, each in a country where one of the languages studied is spoken
• Separate class streams for entrants with advanced knowledge and beginners/near beginners in year 1
• All three languages brought to full honours level by end of year 4

Internships

Bangor University runs a paid internship scheme within the university’s academic and service departments.
