What masters degree can you do with an undergrad in French and Spanish?

I want to know which masters degrees i can apply for with a french and spanish undergrad, does it have to be language related?

The default master's for MFL graduates tend to be linguistics.

Having said that, you can always do master's in subjects that accept undergrads in any subject (so long you have the grades), which includes:


If you want to go into specific areas of research not listed above, you would need to look into doing a conversion course prior to enrolling into the respective master's degree. These subjects include:
There are other conversion courses for other subjects, but they are often for subjects within a similar discipline. For example, conversion courses within life sciences are suitable if you have an undergrad in a life science subject; conversion courses in physics and engineering are suitable if you have an undergrad in physics or engineering.

Instead of picking any random master's degree to do, I think it's more appropriate to ask why you want to do a master's because it makes no sense to do another degree when you don't need it. If you do a master's, it's usually with some purpose in mind as opposed to just getting another qualification.

If you think getting a master's would help your employment prospects, it usually doesn't unless it's in a regulated field where you would legally need a specific type of degree to get in e.g. nursing, psychology. If it's not a legal requirement, then you're very likely wasting money and time.

Thanks for the reply. Is this the same for an undergrad in History? Also, do all computer science master’s degrees allow people from any undergrad onto a comp sci masters?

Thank you so much, you have been a great help!

I am going to be starting a degree in French and Spanish this October at Cardiff University.

I do plan on eventually doing a PHD at a top uni like UCL, LSE, Oxbridge or abroad in the US or Canada. I was recently told by a family friend - who teaches at a uni but isn’t a lecturer or professor - that because I am doing my undergrad at a Welsh University (Cardiff University) that it will be harder than if I went to an English university to apply for PHD funding or getting onto a PHD course in general. I’m not sure what to do with this information (as he said it very out of the blue ) and how I can be competitive enough to get onto a PHD programme if going to a Welsh uni will “hinder” me in applying to English universities for PHDs.

Do you perhaps know what he meant by this as he wasn’t very clear in what he was saying?

Thanks again
