What it is	You study German and Spanish languages, plus the cultures and literature of those regions. You can specialize in one language or split your focus between both. This program includes paid work placements where you apply your language skills in real jobs, which sets it apart from a straight language degree and gives you workplace experience before you graduate. It suits people who want fluency plus practical professional experience in translation, international business, or cultural work.	You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
