Theatre and Modern Languages (BA)

This degree combines Theatre with the study of your chosen language: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. The course offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and a range of core and optional units that will allow you to explore your own interests. All languages can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only. Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes. The Theatre course will allow you to develop your understanding and practical skills by exploring critical and historical frameworks alongside practical workshops. There are opportunities to engage with professional theatre-makers and our museum-accredited archive, the Theatre Collection. On the Modern Languages side of your degree, you will follow a structured language course in your chosen language, as well as explore the richness of the cultures in which it is spoken, choosing from a range of units in areas such as literature, film, history, thought, politics, linguistics and visual culture. You will spend your third year abroad in a country in which your language is spoken, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad. When you return to Bristol for your final year, you will have the opportunity to undertake an independent practical or written research project and/or a work placement in the creative industries. Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations. Our course will ensure you practise a range of skills that will make you attractive to future employers in the globalised workplace and the sector of your choice. As a language student, you will access to the School of Modern Languages’ Multimedia Centre.
