Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Modern Languages and Media Studies (Optional Placement Year)
Program Overview
On this course you will combine the study of media with a language (Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level). You will develop written and oral skills and learn about cultural aspects related to the chosen language. The Media Studies topics include television and radio; film and video; digital media and computer games; journalism. With technical, multilingual and practical skills, you will be well-equipped for the global workplace.
All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.
Optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. Within Media Studies, you will have the opportunity to study a range of different aspects of journalism, film and media production that will provide you with opportunities to develop and explore your own interests, and make use of well-equipped studios that will provide you with practical as well as theoretical knowledge.
There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students. These include cultural and social events organised by student-run societies in the academic departments. In addition, Pontio – Bangor University’s Arts and Innovation Centre – means that there will be a range of plays, films and other performances only a short walk away from where many of your classes will be taking place.
Placement
This course is available with a Placement Year option where you will study for 1 additional year. The Placement Year is undertaken at the end of the second year and students are away for the whole of the academic year.
The Placement Year provides you with a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop valuable skills and contacts through working with a self-sourced organisation relevant to your degree subject. The minimum period in placement (at one or more locations) is seven calendar months; more usually you would spend 10-12 months with a placement provider. You would normally start sometime in the period June to September of your second year and finish between June and September the following year. Placements can be UK-based or overseas and you will work with staff to plan and finalise the placement arrangements.
