Studying a language offers practical, intellectual and aspirational benefits. Language students are superb communicators and resilient and reflective learners. Once the hard work and effort has paid off, you will have a new found confidence, be more decisive and your English will be better! Linguists have a competitive edge in the job market. Once you have learnt one language to a high standard it becomes easier to learn a second or a third, something recognised by companies. Opening up to a culture allows you to be more flexible and appreciative of other ways of doing and looking at things. As a result, you have the advantage of seeing the world from different vantage points: A valuable tool in a country not famed for being good at languages! By studying a language you will stand out from the crowd. So if you enjoy communicating with people and learning about their culture come and join our enthusiastic and successful department.
