Department of Languages and Cultures at Reading

The Department of Languages and Cultures is based within the School of Literature and Languages at the University of Reading. The department is made up of four distinct areas of study; French Studies, Italian Studies, German Studies, and Spanish Studies. There is more to us than studying a language. Within the department we combine the study of modern languages with history, politics, and culture, giving our undergraduates the opportunity not only to expand their knowledge of a modern language, but also to learn about the country and culture surrounding that language. Our undergraduate courses offer huge flexibility in their combinations, both within the department and in the wider university . Our postgraduate courses too offer opportunities to study across a wide range of disciplines as well as specific areas of interest.
