Welcome to European Languages and Cultures
Knowledge of European languages and an insight into European cultures
are as important as ever for participating in international trade and
affaires. As New Zealand’s trade and tourism relations with Europe
continue to grow, a degree in European languages and cultures is likely
to prove particularly attractive.
Besides acquiring invaluable skills in French, German, Russian or
Spanish, students will gain a pan-European view of European culture.
In addition to getting acquainted with the diversity of languages in
Europe today, students can choose to focus their study on particular
aspects of European culture and society.
