The School of Languages Linguistics and Film is a collaboration of 7 departments.

The Film Studies department offers in depth film history and theory, as well as the opportunity to learn production skills and screenplay writing. Our French, German, Iberian and Latin American Studies and Russian departments all run Year Abroad programmes and provide challenging courses in languages and culture that can be taken in combination with other subjects. The school's Linguistics department has a broad range of applied and practical courses in the scientific study of language and has been ranked top in the last two Research Assessment Exercises. The programme in Comparative Literature provides a range of intellectually stimulating courses with intercultural thrusts.

We offer a unique and highly productive academic set up with a friendly and efficient student support environment and excellent teaching practices which are informed by our high levels of research, with all departments having demonstrated world leading and internationally excellent profiles in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
