Languages and Philology

What do you study in Languages and Philology?

Languages and philology go far beyond learning to speak a language: you will explore how languages work, the stories hidden in texts and how literature reflects each society's culture. It is a discipline that combines analysis, creativity and critical thinking.

  • Study the history and development of languages such as Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and English
  • Analyse classical and contemporary literary texts from different cultural traditions
  • Linguistics: how language is structured and how we use it
  • Translation and interpreting applied to real-world contexts
  • Engage with very different cultures through their languages and literatures

These studies open doors in teaching, translation, publishing, international communication and cultural diplomacy.
