    Is it true that at Keele, you get to learn/improve a language alongside your degree? This would be very beneficial to me!

    I'm not sure if you're referring to some sort of uni scheme, but there's definitely a huge list of clubs and societies that you can join, some of which are bound to be language centric.

    And if that's not true, I'm sure you can always do a skill-swap with some of the language students. Or just, students who speak other languages. Or even start your own club.

    You can choose language modules as electives in French, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese Mandarin and Arabic to study alongside your degree.

    You'd have to incorporate the modules into the 120 credits you can/need to take a year so you may sacrifice some other modules if you wanted to study them throughout your degree. I think you get some form of Keele Associated qualification from it and there are several different entry levels you can go in at if you already have some grasp.
