Taught jointly by the Department of Sociology and the Language Centre, this BSc Language, Culture and Society allows you to study sociology and become fluent in either French, German, Mandarin, Russian or Spanish.

Youll examine how societies work and examine the role of language in our culture and society. Youll also choose language, linguistics and literature courses from the Language Centre. The programme includes a year abroad (in the third year) at one of five partner institutions.
