The School of Modern Languages (SML) is an interdisciplinary school, meaning you can study so much more than languages here.

You can find units on:

• literature and poetry
• cinema and visual culture
• history and politics
• linguistics
• cultural studies (e.g. gender, sexuality, postcolonialism)
• and European & Asian languages

Many of the units are comparative (MODL units), enabling you to study more than one culture at a time. While we focus largely on Continental Europe and Latin America, we also have units engaging with the Caribbean, Africa, North America, and Britain.

As an SML Subject Pathway student, you will choose a minimum of 40 credits per semester from this study guide. Most of the units are available in English, but some require knowledge of another language, as indicated below.
