Languages, communication, translation and interpreting

We're fascinated with the way words and languages work, how they travel across national boundaries and between cultures, and the relationship they have with our thoughts.

We are ranked in the top 10 for modern languages and linguistics in the Guardian University Guide 2020
The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019 places us in the top five for Iberian languages and top 10 for French 
We achieved 100 per cent overall satisfaction for French Studies in the National Student Survey (NSS) 2019.
