Cardiff School of European Studies

This is one of the university’s smaller academic Schools, a friendly place based in four former houses along Park Place in the centre of Cardiff, just a minute’s walk from the university’s Main Building and the Students’ Union.
Within the School there are various departments: French, German, Hispanic Studies, Italian, and Politics. Students at undergraduate level can either study single honours in one subject, or Joint Honours combining a language with politics, law or another Humanities subject. If you’re a real linguist, you can also study any two of the languages taught at the School as a Joint Honours programme. There are special bursaries available for certain applicants in German and Italian, but not the other subjects, so if they’re your languages the funding opportunities might be worth looking into.
There’s also a European Union Studies (EUS) degree scheme in which you study European Politics with either one or two languages, and there’s a Cardiff-​Bordeaux Joint Degree/​Diploma which allows you to study for two years in Cardiff and for two years in Bordeaux — and then graduate with a BScEcon degree in Politics from Cardiff AND a Diploma from Bordeaux!
