The School of Modern Languages is the largest modern languages department in Scotland and one of the largest in the UK.
The programme explores transnational understanding of literature and culture, as well as providing training in traditional and new research techniques.
We are also distinguished by the breadth of our research which spans language, literary and cultural studies across eight distinct language areas – Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Persian, Russian and Spanish – and Comparative Literature, but also a range of cultural-historical epochs from the Middle Ages to the present day. This breadth is reflected in the literary and cultural topics you will study on the degree.
Highlights

Obtaining the listed entry requirements will not guarantee you a place, as the University considers all aspects of every application including, where applicable, the writing sample, personal statement, and supporting documents.
