We are one of the largest and most successful Schools of Modern Languages in the UK, bringing together and teaching in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic, Italian, Japanese and Russian Studies. The School is consistently ranked in the top five in national league tables such as the Guardian University Guide and the Complete University Guide.
The School’s reach spans Europe, the Arab world, Russophone Eurasia, Hispanic America, East Asia, and their mutual socio-cultural, intellectual and linguistic relations. We pool our expertise to generate innovative research practices and activities that cross historical, geographical and methodological boundaries.
Our vision is for the School to be known internationally for exercising disciplinary leadership and establishing an integrated intellectual approach to studying and researching in Modern Languages and Cultures in the 21st century. To achieve this vision, we embrace a strong ethos of collaboration based on the idea of translation and transculturality in their widest sense - transmission, interpretation and sharing of languages, ideas and histories.
