The languages faculty in Southampton are an extremely close-knit, supportive group of teachers who offer their students plenty of academic as well as emotional support throughout their degree course. The actual course of study allow students to choose from a wide range of topics, helping them to develop not only their language proficiency but also their knowledge of the respective countries' culture, politics, history and current affairs. I also completed a year abroad in Freiburg, Germany during my studies and I received a lot of help and support from my uni in order to help me settle in comfortably to the new environment. Given a lot of preparation for year abroad help prior to leaving as well, with weekly lectures about how to deal with admin as well as guidance on the research projects we had to write whilst on our year abroad. Great experience at Southampton Uni.
