Course description
The study of Modern Languages is an empowering and transformational pursuit. Through four years of a varied and challenging degree – including a year spent abroad – Oxford linguists develop the ability to problem solve, think critically and creatively, adapt to different scenarios, and communicate effectively in and out of the target language. Our graduates are mature, resilient, and worldly.
Our French UNIQ course is designed to offer a taste of what it is really like to study Modern Languages at Oxford, and to give you a sense of the true breadth of our degree courses.
The majority of the UNIQ course will focus on French – a language you already study at A level (or can speak to an equivalent level). There will be sessions to hone your language skills as well as lectures and discussions exploring an exciting array of topics such as literature, theatre, film or linguistics, from the medieval period to the present day. You will also take part in a tutorial – an important part of the Oxford student experience.
During the latter part of the course, you will have a taste of some unfamiliar languages, such as German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian, which can all be taken from scratch at Oxford. This offers a unique opportunity to learn new grammar and phrases in a different language and to explore new cultures through literature, film, or linguistics.
The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages at Oxford aims to foster a learning environment in which everyone is encouraged and supported to fulfil their linguistic potential, regardless of their background.
