Top reasons to study Languages at Queen Mary

  1. Our Department of Modern Languages and Cultures is fascinatingly diverse, with programmes designed by highly qualified specialists in Chinese, Russian, Catalan, Portuguese, French, German, and Spanish.
  2. Our students not only learn languages but explore their social, cultural, linguistic and political contexts. That could mean working on films and texts in our labs and lecture theatres, or taking a role in the plays we put on in the original language.
  3. You’ll spend your third year studying or working overseas, an exceptional opportunity to put your languages to the test and develop your intercultural competence.

We have a large number of partner institutions across Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal, Russia, Russian-speaking Latvia, Switzerland and Spain, as well as destinations outside Europe such as Colombia, Mexico and La Réunion.

Student stories

You have an incredibly varied selection of modules to choose from. I chose a module called Surrealism, made up of different areas relating back to the French language, culture and the history. I didn’t expect to be doing such diverse modules as a Modern Languages student!
