Languages and Intercultural Studies

Languages can open a world of possibilities for your career. For over 50 years, we have produced graduates of the highest professional standards to work in every corner of the globe.

Languages for a professional purpose

At Heriot-Watt University’s LINCS (Languages and Intercultural Studies) Department we don’t just teach languages, we teach languages for a purpose. With our degrees, you can combine your language with career-focussed skills in interpreting, translation, business management, communication or cultural studies.
Study BSL, Chinese, French, German or Spanish from beginner or intermediate level and learn from established academics and professionals with years of experience.

All students benefit from a friendly community environment and state-of-the-art language labs with interpreting equipment modelled on the European Union and United Nations.
