Our aim at the School of Modern Languages is to enable our students to become ‘global citizens’. Our graduates are highly skilled linguists with a comprehensive skillset which prepares them to work in a host of careers and professions nationally and internationally.

Translation is crucial in today's globalised world. Multinational businesses and international institutions are constantly looking for translators and language specialists. Our Translation programme provides you with theoretical, vocational and practical translation skills alongside the opportunity to gain an excellent command of either one or two modern languages.
