Liberal Arts - Pathway through Languages
Course Overview
Language Pathways available with the School of Modern Languages and Cultures are French, German, Spanish or Italian.
While we do not formally require specific A Levels for the BA Liberal Arts, a Specialist Language Pathway does necessitate a minimum language ability (to be determined by the School of Modern Languages and Cultures), evidenced either through a formal language qualification or interview.
