About the school

Language and culture go to the heart of what it is to be a human being. It’s of relevance to all of us, no matter what our area of interest. Indeed, in a world where relations between people at all levels of interaction remain fraught, where people are marginalised through the loss of languages, and as technologies offer means of communication that can enable new connections yet simultaneously potentially exhaust us, it is clear we have some way to go to better understand others and ourselves. The study of languages and cultures is an important piece of that puzzle.

The School of Languages and Cultures is a vibrant environment in which languages and cultures from around the world are taught and the subject of world-class research from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives. The School welcomes you to explore the wide range of teaching, research and engagement activities in which staff and students of the School are involved.
