13.3.6. University in Portsmouth
BA (Hons) International Relations and Languages
-
UCAS code: LR29
-
Mode of study: Full time
-
Duration: 4 years
-
Entry requirements 2012: 200-280 points from 3 A levels or equivalent.
Course overview
Terrorism, democracy, international security, border war, ecological disaster, globalisation, worldwide credit crunch – how about not just understanding the language of international relations, but being able to express it in another foreign language? International Relations and/with Languages will allow you to do just that, enabling you not only to acquire an in-depth knowledge of why the world is the way it is today and how national and transnational economic and political forces shape our lives, but also to negotiate your way around it.
A major advantage of studying International Relations and Languages at Portsmouth is the close link between the course and cutting-edge research carried out at the University’s internationally-recognised Centre for European and International Studies Research (CEISR). This is the largest centre of its kind in the UK and many of your lecturers are members, meaning you will only be taught the most up-to-date, innovative and original material. Portsmouth is highly regarded for its language teaching and state-of-the-art language learning facilities, ranking second in the UK for European Languages and Area Studies in the latest National Student Survey. And of course, Portsmouth’s excellent location on the south coast means you are only a short trip away from exploring other European languages and cultures.
The degree offers the possibility of studying the history and politics of European nations and their political systems, and the wider context of world politics. You will study the recent history of the international political system, focusing on the Cold War and beyond. It examines the nature of foreign policy and war since 1945 and the transformation of the international political system since the fall of the Iron Curtain. The question of whether the events of September 11th 2001 have changed the world forever is considered in terms of the changing nature of terrorism. Changes in the world economic order since the Second World War are also discussed.
In particular, the degree considers those issues that transcend national boundaries - the global environment, international debt and world poverty - and assesses whether international institutions and forces are of greater significance than individual nation-states. You can choose your foreign language from French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin or English as a Foreign Language. By studying two complementary subjects in depth you will be able to keep your career options open - just think how useful it will be to show prospective employers that you have studied two subjects at Honours degree level.

Course content
The International Relations and/with Languages degree programmes at Portsmouth provide a first class opportunity to develop your foreign language proficiency and at the same time enable you to understand some of the fundamental changes that are taking place in the international political system. You can choose your foreign language from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin or English as a Foreign Language. The course is available as either a three-year course ('with language') or a four-year course ('and language') - the latter including a year working or studying abroad.
Both programmes offer the possibility of studying the history and politics of European nations and their political systems, and the wider context of world politics. You will study the recent history of the international political system, focusing on the Cold War and beyond. The degrees examine the nature of foreign policy and war since 1945 and the transformation of the international political system since the fall of the iron curtain.
The question of whether the events of September 11th 2001 have changed the world for ever is considered in terms of the changing nature of terrorism. Changes in the world economic order since the Second World War are also discussed. In particular, the degree considers those issues that transcend national boundaries - the global environment, international debt and world poverty - and assesses whether international institutions and forces are of greater significance than individual nation-states.
Year one provides the essential skills to study international relations and the chosen foreign language.
Year two develops the core subjects of international relations and the study of the politics and/or contemporary history of their language area. The remaining programme in year two is constructed from a wide range of optional units, which include the contemporary politics of major European countries, Latin America, Russia and the US. Students also take a compulsory unit in Career and Research Management in Year two to prepare them for the writing and submission of the dissertation in the final year.
Study abroad: Students on the four-year course have the opportunity to live and work or study in a foreign environment as the third year of the programme is spent in a country where their language of study is spoken. Normally students will pursue a course of study at one of our partner universities in the host country. We have well-established links with universities in France, Germany, Spain, West Africa and Latin America. Alternatively, with the University's approval, students may arrange work placements abroad.
The final year provides opportunities for specialist study through the dissertation. In addition to core units in language and international relations, students may choose from optional units on the politics of Latin America, West Africa, North Africa, Middle East and the European Union.
Students on the three-year programme who do not go abroad may decide not to continue with the study of the language in the final year.
If you are taking English as a Foreign Language, course units available in area studies include British Institutions, British Government Policies and British & Comparative Institutions.

Teaching and assessment
We provide a varied, creative and stimulating learning environment. Our aim is to enable you to become an independent thinker equipped with skills that will continue to influence your experiences beyond your time at university.
Our staff are highly motivated and research active, ensuring that you are taught by enthusiastic specialists in their subjects. Many language teachers are native speakers. They will enthuse you about their specific fields of expertise, from Latin American Development to German History to Applied Translation Theory, provide advice and guide you to appropriate learning resources.
Blended learning means that through VICTORY, your University interactive Intranet site, you will be given opportunities to develop and support your knowledge and skills acquired via traditional class contact. Classes include general lectures and seminars (i.e. interactive teaching with small groups of students). Most of our seminar teaching is undertaken in small groups so that students acquire skills and confidence in their analytical skills and are encouraged to ask questions and develop arguments and debates. Students are encouraged to work in small teams analysing primary documents and debating contemporary issues so that all students learn from a range of opinions and interpretations and increase their academic abilities in a genial environment. Emphasis is placed not just on what the student can take from the seminar but what they can bring to the experience and how they interact and learn from their peers.
Classes may also take the form of hands-on skills development sessions where you learn how to access electronic resources. Language is taught using the MELISSI multimedia digital classrooms (they are much more than 'language laboratories') or via small oral practice classes with Language Assistants.
Our assessment methods are varied, with relatively few formal examinations. The emphasis is on continuous assessment, with assessments designed to measure the learning outcomes of your various units. Most assessment is done through submission of essays, reports, case studies, book reviews or other pieces of written work. Some units are assessed by means of projects, which can be particularly useful to build up your career profile. Some language-based tests are oral presentations to measure your progress in oral communication.

Course overview
In our lifetime, the borders, economy, political identity and demography of Europe have all dramatically changed. The expanding European Union plays an increasingly important role in our lives, whether we live within or beyond Europe's frontiers. European Studies at Portsmouth will give you the tools to understand these transformations and their impacts. It is a rich and diverse course, linking together disciplines including history, politics, economics, law and cultural and social studies.
Your lecturers will be experts in the field with a wide range of specialist knowledge. All lecturers are members of the University's internationally-recognised Centre for European and International Studies Research (CEISR), which is the largest centre of its kind in the UK. The cutting-edge research conducted by CEISR members ensures that you will only be taught the most up-to-date material.
The course is very flexible and you can adjust the balance of study between languages and other subjects to suit your own needs and interests. You will study European History, focusing on the post-war period, and also learn about how the European institutions (the Commission, the Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the European Court of Justice) work and how European policies are developed and how they impact on all aspects of daily life.
And the great advantage of studying in Portsmouth is that it is situated on the South coast, excellent for students who want to cross the Channel to gain experience of the cultures they are studying.
Languages and European Studies also allows you to spend your third year either studying in one of the countries of the European Union or working in Brussels at the European Commission.
Course content
This is a four-year programme with a one year placement, giving you the exciting opportunity to experience first hand what you have learnt in the first two years of your studies whilst studying or working in Europe.

Course content
All students study compulsory language units in two languages throughout the degree programme. In addition, you will follow foundation courses in linguistics (learning how languages function) in Year one as well as courses that describe contemporary society.
In Year two you'll continue with the study of linguistics and are introduced to communication study. With all other students in the School, you'll take units in career development, research management and preparation for the year abroad. Optional units from year two onwards include a third foreign language or Business Cultures. You will also have the option of taking units in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (for which you will receive a Cert TESOL from Trinity College London).
Students on this degree programme have the opportunity to live and work or study abroad in each country where the languages they are taking are spoken. Normally students will pursue a course of study at one of our partner universities in the host country. We have well-established links with universities in France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Belgium and Italy, as well as in West Africa and Latin America. For study placements within the EU, students receive a grant from the EU. Alternatively, with the University's approval, students may arrange work placements or work as English language assistants while abroad. Students taking French may also opt to do a combined university study/work placement in Dakar (Senegal) and students doing Spanish may opt to do a placement in Central or Latin America.
Students who choose to study at one of our partner universities within the EU will do so as part of the EU Erasmus ‘student mobility’ programme. This means that you will not have to pay fees (they are waived) and that you will receive a grant from the EU (covering living costs). In addition you will benefit from an intensive language course at the beginning of your stay, which is in many cases provided free of charge as part of the Erasmus programme.
In the final year of your degree, you'll write up your dissertation and select from a range of units such as Translation: Theory and Practice or Communication Theory.
