Studying an MFL will be the perfect combination with any other subject to give you the flexibility to work in any type of environment in future and this does not necessarily mean working abroad. The study of Modern Foreign Languages is known for stretching the mind in terms of problem-solving and adaptability and language graduates are sought after in many high-profile professions such as consultancy, banking or the law. Other linguists prefer to specialise in lines of work more traditionally associated with languages such as translation and interpreting, teaching, the travel industry or opera singing. Journalism, fashion, cinema and literature, architecture, research, marketing, sales, project management and the hospitality industry are among other popular outlets for students with a language degree.
