Course Description
Climate change? The rise of China? Security and terrorism? What are the issues facing your future? This degree will widen your horizons by bringing together the study of a modern language and international relations. It has strong emphasis on preparing you for the world of work by developing new skills, with work placements and other exciting opportunities.
This exciting new joint degree brings together the study of international relations with the learning of a modern language and it will widen your horizons, open up new opportunities and prepare you for the world of work. To prepare students there is a year abroad part of which must be spent gaining work experience in the chosen study language and there should be other opportunities during the degree course to have a second work placement over a summer vacation period. Indeed, we are developing what will be an impressive programme to support student employability and graduate development through work placements, internships, work shadowing and skills development.
Graduates go into a wide range of occupations in the public, private and third sectors including international organisations, non-governmental organisations, multinational corporations, the media and journalism, marketing, and, not least, translation and interpretation.
