Modern & Medieval Languages

Modern and Medieval Languages (MML) at Cambridge is a hugely flexible 4-year course, offering a broad and multifaceted approach to the study of language and culture which incorporates literature, linguistics, history, thought, film and art. You will study two out of the following languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Alternatively, you can combine any of these with either Classical Latin or Classical Greek. One of the languages chosen can be learnt from scratch (the exceptions being French and Latin, for which A Level/IB Higher Level standard is required). The third year includes at least eight months spent abroad, during which time you prepare either a project dissertation, a translation project or a linguistics project. Further information about the course can be found on the University website.

MML at Murray Edwards

Murray Edwards typically admits 5-6 undergraduate MML students each year, and our subject community also includes several postgraduate students. Our student-run society, the Gabe Society, hosts events for students, researchers, and Fellows, which contribute to a friendly and vibrant atmosphere. As you might expect, MML students make good use of the travel funding available in the College: activities in recent years have included language and cultural courses, internships, and volunteering opportunities across the globe.
