Module suites - Semester 1

The School of Languages, Linguistics and Film covers a diverse range of subject areas, from which we have created a number of thematic programmes that can be chosen by you as a package.

You can immerse yourself in a particular area of study, from postcolonial studies to a regional focus on Britain, Europe, or East Asia. Each thematic programme contains courses from the areas of film, literature, the languages and cultures of a society or region, taught by experts in the field.
