Our approach to modern languages is both liberal and innovative, embracing a wide variety of single and joint degrees that enable our students to dedicate themselves to language studies or explore specific disciplines with language components. Year abroad programmes allow students in the modern languages to encounter other cultures as well as develop professional qualifications that are accepted globally.

The School seeks to take advantage of the opportunities of inter-disciplinary research to build on an established research track record. The Times 'Good University Guide' has consistently placed the German department in the "top-ten" of UK departments in this field and Hispanic Studies has rated an excellent 5 in the last Research Assessment Exercise. Engaging in quality research that benefits student and scholar alike, Swansea's modern language departments are poised to create a world-class place to study.
