News feedsWelcome to Modern Languages
In recognition of the high proportion of our staff carrying out "world-leading" research, Modern Languages was ranked in the top 2 UK Universities for European Studies in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and we are amongst the top 3 in the Guardian's University Guide 2009 for undergraduate teaching quality, staff-student ratios and job prospects.
Undergraduate
We offer distinctive degree programmes that are quite different in outlook from many narrower and more traditional Modern Language degrees. We offer an exceptionally broad array of courses, including linguistic studies, film and television studies, social and political studies and literary studies.
Postgraduate
Continuing your studies on a postgraduate taught programme (MA) or in postgraduate research (MPhil/PhD), you will benefit from learning from staff who are at the leading edge of their fields.
Unique to Southampton
We offer a language learning programme based on your level of ability, not on your year of study. Read more about our seven stages of proficiency.
