Additional requirements for graduation:
1. The student must present evidence of both vernacular (day-to-day) and academic fluency in the language studied, measured by satisfactorily passing an examination recognized in the nation of study at an agreed level. It should be noted that satisfactory completion of language study will be judged by reference to the skill attained, and not the number of credits gained or term studied.
2. The level of language skill required to graduate in this degree is high; many may be unable to attain it, or find that they do not require academic fluency in the language. For this reason, students applying for this degree are registered provisionally for the Intercultural Studies degree which does not require such high attainments in language; a student is confirmed for a Language and Culture degree following assessment of their progress after two terms of study.
Opportunities for language and cultural exchange placement currently exist in Arabic and Mandarin Chinese. Study in other languages may be possible.

Master’s requirement: a UofN course from the Bible core curriculum is required for those students without an equivalent in their undergraduate studies.
