History & Modern Language - Early Irish or German or Irish or Italian or Russian or Spanish

History is the study of how we and those before us interpret the past. Studying History means studying lives, events and ideas in times and places often very different from our own. History embraces everything from the rise and fall of empires, or the birth of new ideologies, to the contrasting everyday lives of people in a whole range of settings, across time and across the globe. A modern language plus another subject allows you to combine an interest in languages with an entirely different academic discipline, and gives you intensive training in both.
