Studying German and History at UoB has been extremely fulfilling and interesting. There‘s a variety of topics to learn about and essay questions that allow you to deeply explore a topic that you enjoy. The teaching quality is really amazing with regular engaging lectures and seminars. Tutors and lecturers also have regular student hours which is very helpful when you have any questions or need any support. Having a personal tutor is also really great, because they are someone you can trust to talk about any worries that you have and to reflect on the course experience. Studying German and History opens up many job prospects because by studying these two subjects you gain so many valuable skills that are vital in a wide range of careers.

Modern Languages, BA Hons FullTime
I absolutely love my course, and am so glad I chose to study it here at UoB. At UoB, we are taught using the CLIL (content language integrated learning) method which was one of the main reasons I chose to come here (alongside the option to study three languages throughout my whole degree), and I am really enjoying the teaching style and course in general. I have already learnt so much, and can't wait to learn even more throughout the rest of my degree read more

Modern Languages and History of Art, BA Hons FullTime
Modern languages staff (Spanish) isn't helpful at all and the level of education is low. However, art history staff is very helpful and supportive, always provide as much information as possible, very responsible people. I enjoyed seminars during which we visited many museums and had a study trip to London. Modules are very engaging and there are great optional modules too. read more
