Learn three foreign languages and their cultures
The four-year Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages provides comprehensive training in language, literature and culture that allows students to broaden their knowledge and specialise in one of the diverse profiles of today's multilingual and multicultural environment. Our educational model allows students to study this degree either face-to-face or online, providing them with a complete language training in both modalities. In addition, we train highly qualified professionals, and facilitate access to professional opportunities at a national and international level.
The studies of the Bachelor's Degree in Applied Modern Languages
focus on three foreign languages and their cultures
The methodology is structured into the first three years of general training, and a final year in which students can choose from a wide range of electives to specialise according to their own interests. These three optional itineraries of specialisation in modern languages are:
- 1) International Relations and International Trade.
- 2) Computational linguistics and linguistics applied to foreign language teaching.
- 3) Translation. This last pathway is taken entirely at the University of Essex, and the MA Translation, Interpreting and Subtitling from the same institution can be obtained simultaneously, which allows the graduate to conclude their studies with a double degree.

The Degree in Applied Modern Languages at Nebrija University is a way for graduates to start working in plurilingual and pluricultural environments in the public and private employment sectors, both in Spain and in other countries. Specifically, the professional sectors in which graduates can develop their professional future are very varied: language teaching, communication, publishing, cultural industries, linguistic and cultural consultancy, cultural tourism, HR language policy and planning, international relations, translation and linguistic and cultural intermediation, and language technology.
Today, foreign language studies are increasingly necessary and in demand. At the international university level, languages are one of the fastest growing fields of study in the Humanities. As globalisation expands in the world we live in, there is a growing demand for people trained in languages and translation, with intercultural communication skills, who are able to interact linguistically with a wide audience. On the other hand, a degree in the field of modern languages and translation offers a competitive advantage to language teachers, interpreters, editors, and people who wish to work with language in increasingly technological, multilingual and multicultural societies.
The degree in Modern Languages arises from the need to research new forms of intercultural or interlinguistic communication in professional fields, applying ethnolinguistic, descriptive and focused observation methodologies that allow a better understanding of the phenomena and social, cultural and linguistic factors (pragmatic, grammatical, lexical, among others) that intervene in the communicative processes between human beings, in human/machine technological interaction, and in their application to linguistic engineering.
In addition, all degree students can take an optional Diploma in Chinese Language and Culture, accredited by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education, to enrich their professional profile and enhance the employability offered by this degree.
"In the Degree in Applied Modern Languages, we not only train language specialists but also global citizens equipped with the necessary tools to make a difference in their professional and personal lives. It is a commitment to purposeful knowledge, preparing our students for a future filled with opportunities in diverse fields such as language teaching, interpretation, editing, and any profession requiring advanced linguistic skills in technological and multicultural contexts".
"We contribute to society if we educate multilingual and multicultural citizens, capable of transmitting and teaching what they are and what they know through innovative methodologies, with an artistic, creative and critical sense of life".
"The Degree in Applied Modern Languages aims to equip students with comprehensive knowledge of three languages and their respective cultures. Additionally, the program aims to provide students with the tools and skills necessary to thrive professionally in various language-related fields, including teaching and translation".
What our students say
Paola Robledo Becerra
"Estudiar en la Universidad Nebrija ha sido una experiencia increíblemente gratificante. Me siento feliz de formar parte de una comunidad académica que valora la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras para un entorno profesional. Gracias a su enfoque en los idiomas, he encontrado innumerables oportunidades para crecer tanto personal como profesionalmente, acercándome cada vez más a mis metas."
Anastasija Durasevic
"Estudiar Lenguas Modernas Aplicadas me dio la oportunidad de tener no una, sino tres almas. Como dice la famosa cita de Carlomagno: "Tener otra lengua es poseer una segunda alma". Está frase me lleva a que no sólo estamos aprendiendo el inglés, español y francés, sino también sus culturas; lo cual es muy enriquecedor. Todo lo que se nos presenta con diferentes metodologías de enseñanza nos abrirá muchas puertas en el futuro, y nos preparará para mejorar en el ámbito de los idiomas."
Li Ning
"La Universidad Nebrija es una de las mejores universidades privadas de España. Hace hincapié en las prácticas y el empleo, exigiendo que la formación escolar se acerque a la demanda del mercado."
