Module descriptions

Language named in degree titles

You can opt to have the language you study named in your degree title, as "...with proficiency in [language]".

To achieve this, you must successfully complete a minimum of 60 credits in one language, of which 30 credits are at level 2 or higher.

For example, a History student who passes 30 credits at Spanish Beginners and 30 credits at Spanish Intermediate can ask to have their degree title as BA (Hons) History with proficiency in Spanish.

To request this, contact your School Office by no later than 1 June of your final year of study.
