Program overview
A four year honours degree combining language study with philosophy and religion, covering ethics, philosophical argument and comparative religion alongside language, with a year abroad.
This route asks IELTS 6.5 rather than the 6.0 most Bangor undergraduate degrees require, reflecting the sustained argument philosophy demands.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Modern Languages with Philosophy, Ethics and Religion is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the modern languages with philosophy degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the modern languages with philosophy degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the modern languages with philosophy degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the modern languages with philosophy degree does not support a family move.
Applicants to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Modern Languages with Philosophy, Ethics and Religion need Class 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the modern languages with philosophy degree is recorded at GBP 17,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the modern languages with philosophy degree. The modern languages with philosophy degree lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the modern languages with philosophy degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
