EXPERIENCE YOUR NEW WORLD Develop your language skills even further and put into practice what you have learned with a year abroad.

It is commonly thought that there is no better way to learn a foreign language than living in a place among native speakers. As part of our Study Abroad programmes you will get the chance to make the most of this once-in-alifetime opportunity to study across Europe, as well as in a range of non-European countries such as Mexico, Colombia China and Brazil.

Although the Year Abroad is perhaps the most stimulating experience for a language student, we recognise that adapting to a new way of life abroad can be challenging. Our specialists are on hand to provide full cultural and academic support and expert, research-based advice, to ensure you gain the most from this fantastic experience.

You will embark on an exciting, in-depth investigation of an aspect related to the country or region and will develop crucial research and academic skills, fully equipping you to develop as a linguist and culturally aware professional.

“I had the opportunity to travel to some amazing parts of the world with the money I earned working for the British Council. University has undoubtedly made me a more well-rounded and confident person. I’d have never thought I’d have been able to deliver an assembly in a Secondary School, teach English to teenagers in France or have the confidence to try out new sports, but these are a few of the things that remind me how much I’ve developed in the past few years.” Rory Norrington, BA French and Linguistics, Fourth year

BA Languages and Contemporary European Studies graduate Florence works in Business Development for Telefónica, specialising in a Big Data product in the Spanish market. “The great thing about my role is that I am using my languages to sell a very technical product day in day out to Spanish people, so as well as the language skills I am also using the soft skills which one acquires day to day in a degree at Southampton by working in group projects, and presenting regularly in class and at Open Days.

EMBRACE YOUR NEW WORLD

EMBRACE YOUR NEW WORLD Working as a photographer for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) Tom Price BA Spanish and Portuguese, 2009 MA Transnational Studies, 2010 “I work as a freelance documentary photographer, writer and filmmaker, currently based in Kolkata, India. My work is people-centred, with a focus on inequality and empowerment, especially in women and children. I’ve shot for NGOs like Save the Children, Tearfund and Christian Aid in Brazil, India, and South Sudan. During my course and year abroad I got to study the work of photographers I now count as major influences on my career, such as Sebastião Salgado. Taking this further, I was able to spend a year in a fine art school in the Universidade Federal da Bahia where I spent time in the laboratory and various field sites. It was the most incredible experience which marked the start of my journey as a professional photographer.”

Ranked

5th

in the UK for our research (REF 2014)

At Southampton we place equal emphasis on students’ learning of culture, history, society and linguistics as on the language learning itself. You will be introduced to a broad interdisciplinary range of areas including cultural studies, socio-political studies and linguistic studies, second language acquisition and linguistic theory, sociolinguistics, anthropology/ethnography, cultural studies, education and pedagogy, eLearning, history and literary studies.

How will you learn?

Our degrees offer both flexibility and in-depth knowledge and allow you to select the areas in which you specialise.

Our programmes are mainly taught through lectures and seminars.

You can choose single or combined degree programmes in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, European Studies and Linguistics. You may also combine your language study with another subject, or add a new language. Our integrated Masters in Languages programmes (MLang) enable you to develop your skills further. Academic staff from 11 countries use their different academic traditions and cultures to generate ideas and creative synergies. Modules listed in this brochure demonstrate some of the different topics you can explore as part of your degree. Individual modules may vary from year to year. Our pastoral support system will help you navigate our different pathways and wide choice of modules throughout your four years, as well as during your year abroad.

Lectures are more common in your first year, where the emphasis is on introducing you to fields of study and particular subjects relating to your chosen language/s. These are backed up by seminars giving you the chance to discuss the content of the lectures. In your second and final years most courses are taught in seminars, and the emphasis gradually shifts from tutor-led to student-led discussions. We attach great importance to teamwork – both among members of staff and students – as well as to developing your ability to work independently.

where one of their chosen languages is spoken. This opportunity is considered central to the intellectual, professional and personal development of language students at Southampton.

recognised that skills gathered through independent project work and research will enhance and prepare you for your university experience.

On most of our courses applicants offering an EPQ will be made two offers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our typical offer based on 3 A levels, and an alternative where, in exchange for an A or A* in the EPQ, we will reduce the A level requirements by one grade. For example, a typical offer of AAA would be made alongside an offer of AAB, plus an A in the EPQ. We also provide free online support on developing EPQ research projects at www.futurelearn.com/courses/ research-project

* Annual increases, which are also subject to UK Parliament approval, will apply to institutions demonstrating high-quality teaching and are likely to be in line with inflation. The measure of inflation to be used is Retail Price Index (RPIX) (excluding mortgage interest payments). It is anticipated that increases will apply at the commencement of the second and subsequent years of the degree programme.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS Terms of use

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. It provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. This is provided for information purposes only. Applications made to the University should be made based on the latest programme information made available by the University. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the prospectus. The information contained in the prospectus, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

Programme Validation

Validation is the process by which the University approves its programmes of study. Any taught undergraduate and postgraduate programme leading to a University of Southampton award, including research degrees with a taught component (e.g. Engineering Doctorate) are required to go through Programme Validation. The full validation process can be found in the University’s Quality Handbook: www.southampton.ac.uk/quality

1. Change or discontinuance of programmes The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill. We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary to: – alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable; – make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements); – suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University); – make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if

fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students; – close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable). However, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. The University’s procedures for dealing with programme changes and closures can be found in our Quality Handbook at www.southampton.ac.uk/quality If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity. a. If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change. b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either: i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student. c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected.

2. Changes to services or facilities

The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other losses

The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the

University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Force majeure

The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure. In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and complaints

The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. This policy is reviewed at least annually. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Before you apply please see subject websites listed for subject-specific terms and conditions. Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Further information about or clarification of these procedures is available from the Admissions team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ; admissions@soton.ac.uk

Data protection

During the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.

A copy of this prospectus and the University’s current information for students with disabilities and specific learning difficulties can be made available, on request, in alternative formats, such as electronic, large print, Braille or audio, and, in some cases, other languages.
