About BA French and Spanish
Expertise in modern languages has never been more important as the United Kingdom forges a new relationship with its European partners and seeks to develop its trading and cultural ties throughout the world.
The University of Bristol is a thriving centre for the study of modern languages and cultures, with a vibrant learning environment and state-of-the-art multimedia centre.
This degree enables you to explore two of the oldest and most central cultures in Europe. French is spoken by hundreds of millions of people around the world, and Francophone countries offer diverse and stimulating cultures for study. Spanish is the second most widely spoken European language in the world and the most common second language of the USA.
You will achieve a high degree of fluency and accuracy in written and oral registers in both French and Spanish, and study the history, literature and culture of countries where they are spoken. Many students find that studying two languages makes them stronger linguists.
In language classes, you will develop speaking, listening, reading, writing and translation skills using a range of textbooks, media and internet resources.
You will spend half of your third year in a French-speaking country and the other half in a Spanish-speaking country, undertaking study or work placements.
