Study languages and linguistics
You will be taught by specialists in applied linguistics and modern languages and cultures (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Latin America) in a school that prides itself on research-led teaching, making it an outstanding multidisciplinary unit.
We offer a number of flexible, exciting modules and courses that allow you to develop your interest in language studies at every level, from language-learning short courses, to study at BA degree level, Graduate Diploma, MA and PhD.
When you study languages, comparative cultures and applied linguistics at Birkbeck, you join scholars with shared interests in interdisciplinary inquiry and cross-cultural research. Our affiliated research centres - the Centre for French, Francophone and Comparative Studies (CFFCS), the Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies (CILAVS), and Eighteenth-Century Research Group - offer a dynamic programme of guest lectures, workshops and conferences, and provide an important platform for this exchange among students, researchers and the public.
All teaching takes place in Bloomsbury in central London, a neighbourhood filled with research libraries, theatres, museums and galleries.
