Erasmus students

The School offers a wide range of courses, both in arts and social sciences. BA Honours courses in language allow Cardiff students to study either one or two languages in depth, as well as to become familiar with the civilisation of those countries whose language they study – not just the literature but the politics, history, society and wider culture also.

Our integrated law and language degrees allow students to combine the study of a foreign language with law and to secure a legal qualification. 

All degree programmes have a modular structure with the academic year divided into two twelve week semesters. Each semester is followed by a period of examinations and/or assessments. There are single modules with 10 credits, double modules with a value of 20 credits and triple modules to the value of 30 credits.  The single modules are studied for one semester only (autumn or spring) and the double and triple modules are, usually, studied continuously for the whole year.  EUROS consists of five different subject areas for undergraduate study: French, German, Hispanic Studies (Catalan and Spanish), Italian and Politics.

Your module choices

We offer language courses as well as a variety of courses on culture, history, literature, politics, feminism, present-day society, commercial language, cinema etc. Politics has a very strong European orientation and is focused on the interaction of political theory, institutions and behaviour. 

You will need to enrol for a maximum of 120 credits in an academic year, with at least 80 of these credits taken within the School. Modules taken outside the School must be part of the agreed Programme of Study.
