10.8 Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies

The Department of Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies is an interdisciplinary department bringing together multiple languages, art history, visual culture, linguistics, literary studies, translation studies, museum studies and gender and identity studies, and other related fields.

You can learn more about who we are and what we do on our webpages for Modern Languages and Cultures and Art History and Visual Culture.

See you very soon, and don’t forget to check your Timetable for the range of welcome events we’ll be running in Welcome Week!

Preparing for Your Degree

We don’t expect you to complete any preparatory work before you get here, but if you’re keen to acclimatise yourself to your course and do a little reading before term starts, we’ve put together some suggested reading material for Modern Languages and Art History and Visual Culture. You are not expected to read all of these works – just pick and choose the titles that appeal most.

Our community

We would also encourage you to look out for the different academic societies advertising their events in Welcome Week and throughout the year. They are friendly subject societies that run social events and other activities.

Alongside events we run ourselves, from quizzes to film screenings to pizza parties, we’re always keen to hear your ideas about things you’d like to do in the departmental community.
