We have built immersive study abroad into the programme in Year 3, which you will spend in either China or Taiwan and in a country where Spanish is spoken. Employers recognise the importance of both languages and the benefits of a broad intercultural education. Our graduates are valued for their capability to act as bridges of understanding between Chinese, Spanish, Latin American and British cultures.
