Department of Modern Languages:
The Department of Modern Languages celebrated excellent results in the latest
Research Excellence Framework (REF). 75% of research at the University of
Birmingham for Modern Languages and Linguistics was top 4* rated
‘world-leading’ or rated 3* ‘internationally excellent’.

In 2015/16, over 95% of Modern Languages postgraduates were in work and/or
further study six months after graduation. Some of our language graduates
train to become professional linguists such as translators and interpreters,
others enter employment where their language skills may be advantageous but
not central to their role, and some go on to teaching or lecturing positions.
Recent graduate employers include: Berlitz Language Centre; TransPerfect
Global Business Solutions; KPMG; University of Birmingham; University of
Cambridge; and University of Oxford.

workshops and the opportunity to learn additional languages, without any extra

connects directly with central Birmingham. The city of Birmingham today is one
of Europe's most exciting destinations, with excellent local, national and
