The Department has a global reach, forming connections with institutions and communities internationally and nationally.
The opportunity to study abroad represents a central part of our undergraduate degrees. We have agreements with more than 40 universities across the world, which usually includes universities in the United States of America, Hong Kong, Canada, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Brazil, Portugal, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Australia. This diverse range allows us to offer a unique study-abroad experience to our students and supports international collaborations between our department and universities across the world.

Through our outreach programme, we work closely with schools to support language educators and students to understand the experience of studying languages, literatures and cultures at university level.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
The department seeks to be a welcoming and empowering place for all students and staff, with a strong history of supporting equality, diversity & inclusion, running several successful initiatives. This includes recent workshops exploring student and staff experiences of neurodiversity in the study of Modern Languages and events around decolonizing methodologies in the Humanities. There is a Diversity & Inclusion committee within the department, which helps promote and facilitate these initiatives.
