At King’s we offer you a lively and intellectually stimulating home in the heart of London where you will be taught by leading experts. Our Management and Modern Languages BA includes an exceptionally wide range of modules in both subject areas, while maintaining an even balance between the two sides of your degree. In Modern Languages, you will attain a high level of proficiency in speaking, writing and reading the language of your degree, whilst developing your knowledge and critical understanding of its culture and society. Students can take this course either with an A-level (or equivalent) in the degree language, or as a beginner, following a specially-designed language course (known as ‘ab initio’ – ‘from the start’), and our cultural curriculum is innovative and diverse, covering a range of modules in literature, from the medieval period to the contemporary, and cultural studies, film studies, politics and history. You will spend the third year of your four-year degree studying, teaching or working in a French-, German-, Portuguese- or Spanish-speaking country, putting your language learning into practice. At the same time, you will acquire knowledge and skills in the broad discipline of management that are key to so many graduate careers. Choose from Management modules including economics, organisational behaviour, accounting, marketing, and business strategy. With strong links to the business world surrounding our central London campus, our students have excellent networking opportunities and a wealth of entrepreneurial, business and economic societies to engage with and enhance their studies.

“I chose to study this course, as it entailed learning a new language completely from scratch, including a year abroad in a French speaking country. I believe languages to be an extremely important skill in the modern globalized world and learning it on site to be the best way to master it. I wish more people knew about this course! ”
By encouraging critical reflection on both the past and the present contexts of the French, German, Portuguese or Spanish -speaking worlds, the programme broadens students’ knowledge base, challenging narrow, monocultural assumptions, thus preparing students for the challenges of multicultural and global realities.
Studies of graduate employability repeatedly stress the career value of language degrees, which provide graduates with international experience and enhance cultural awareness, helping them to develop flexibility, resilience and resourcefulness. Employers value the skills of criticism, interpretation and reasoning that are fundamental to the Modern Languages and to Management, and value foreign language ability not just as a specialist skill, but as a personal quality that develops relationship-building, teamwork, and the capacity to move easily in international contexts. Typical destinations of graduates from this degree include international business, the press and media, IT and technology, marketing and public relations, public administration, international development, law, finance, teaching and lecturing, interpreting and translating.
