Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Modern Languages and History (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

On this programme you will study History alongside a language (Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level). You’ll develop written and oral skills and will learn about cultural aspects, including national histories. You can choose from a range of topics from medieval to contemporary history. This joint course History will impart a solid knowledge of different nations in a variety of historical periods, equipping you with transferable skills highly sought after by employers.

Optional modules in Modern Languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. The modules available in History will sit well alongside Modern Languages modules, and enable you to focus on a wide variety of time periods, geographical areas and themes. This will enable you to follow modules that focus on the history of Wales, Britain, and Europe, as well as that of other areas.

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.
