History of Art and Modern Languages Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

This rewarding joint honours degree presents an exciting opportunity for you to explore the past, interpret our present and shape your future through in-depth study of the history of art, your chosen language (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish) and its related cultures.

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. You choose your language after you accept an offer.

Over the course of your degree, you will explore a rich variety of texts and visual material in their social, political and historical contexts and will develop excellent critical and communication skills, both in English and in your chosen language.

Through your study at Bristol and the experience you will gain on your year abroad, you will build invaluable interpersonal and intercultural skills that will support your personal and professional development and open up a world of international career opportunities, whichever sector you go on to work in.

Modern languages and history of art at Bristol are both vibrant academic communities that will give you the opportunity to participate in research and extracurricular activities such as talks, workshops, student societies, language cafés, student newspapers and talent shows. As a modern languages student, you will also have access to the school's wonderful Multimedia Centre, complete with a video editing suite, language lab facilities, extensive foreign-language film collection and mini-cinema.
