Modern Languages: University of Oxford

What is Modern Languages?

The study of Modern Languages provides both practical linguistic training in the written and spoken language and an extensive introduction to many areas of European literature and thought.

Modern Languages at Oxford

Oxford’s Modern Languages Faculty is one of the largest in the country, with a total intake of 280 students a year (including joint degrees). They have a central building – the Taylor Institution – as the focus for our work. This houses the Taylor Institution Library, which is the biggest research library in Britain devoted to modern languages, and also an undergraduate lending library for modern languages.

Work placements/international opportunities

Modern Languages is a four-year course involving a year abroad (the third year of the course but the second year in the case of beginners in Russian). Many students spend the year abroad as a paid language assistant in a foreign school, though you may work abroad or study at a foreign university.
