In choosing to study a Modern Language alongside English, you’ll greatly enhance your communication skills and gain the experience necessary for a successful career.
Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.
Your Modern Language studies will focus on developing excellent verbal and written communication skills in your chosen language, while exploring the society and culture of the countries where your language is spoken.
Why study with us
- English courses at the University of Central Lancashire are ranked top 20 in the UK and 2nd in the North West for overall student satisfaction (CUG, 2022).
- Our Modern Languages teachers speak more than 20 languages between them and many work as interpreters and translators alongside their teaching.
- Explore major literary centres, such as Paris, and the relationship between literature and place.
What you'll do
- Learn from industry experts as we regularly invite in writers and guest speakers such as Caryl Phillips and Jacqueline Wilson.
- Study abroad as part of your course – we have a scheme which gives you the opportunity to spend a semester or a full year abroad. We have exchange agreements with universities in many countries.
- You'll become a confident communicator in a language of your choice as you immerse yourself in language and culture.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
