World-leading research: In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) results, 75% of research at the University of Birmingham for Modern Languages and Linguistics was judged to be ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.
Internationally renowned researchers: The Department of Modern Languages is home to one of the UK’s largest groups of internationally renowned researchers in the national cultures of Europe.

You can also research a wide range of cultural, literary, historical, and socio-political topics related to periods from the Middle Ages to the present day.
