The Applied Languages programme is a four year programme, divided into eight semesters. In each semester you will study: your two languages (Language A and Language B); 1-2 compulsory modules (e.g. Linguistics 1 and 2, Language Technology, Applied Languages Project); and 2 elective modules, the first of which you can choose from (e.g. a third language, including Japanese, Politics and International Relations, Marketing) and the second of which you can choose from a range of literature modules in a language you are studying, or cultural studies modules focusing on a language.
