* Overview
* Program Requirements
The Major in World Languages and Cultures will allow you to acquire competency in one or more international languages and to gain a wide range of knowledge about cultures and intercultural realities. Besides focusing on one or several linguistic and cultural areas, you will develop fundamental research and communication skills that are essential to today’s workplace and wider world. These are introduced and reinforced in courses at all levels.
Gain important academic and professional experience through experiential learning components in the Major’s advanced courses, through diverse opportunities to study and work abroad, by participating in the research of faculty members, volunteering experiences with embassies, international cultural institutes (e.g. Cervantes Institute, Goethe Institute, Dante Alighieri Society), and community organizations in the National Capital Region.
The Major is a perfect fit with the University of Ottawa’s uoGlobal Recognition and with the Faculty of Art’s Option in Entrepreneurship, Creativity, and Social Innovation. It will also prepare you for graduate studies in language and culture, e.g. in the Department’s MA programs in Spanish.
The languages taught in the Department include Arabic, Breton, Chinese, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, Welsh, and Yiddish.
This program is offered in English and in French.
