This configuration of disciplines extends beyond the more common grouping of European languages to embrace both indigenous and past languages and cultures.
The School has 40 full-time academic staff and over 1700 undergraduate and postgraduate students and offers a wide range of programmes, including a number of interdisciplinary courses.
The School is proud of the diversity and quality of its teaching and has a strong research profile with many members of staff enjoying an international reputation in their fields. It has identified four themed priority areas: Culture, Media and Text; Language and Communication; Myth, Folklore and Religion and Place, Space and Displacement.
