These courses highlight critical thinking and expression of cultural themes from a transnational viewpoint and are often taught in combination with a portion of the target language. A degree focused on languages and cultures offers useful transferable skills to students that are becoming increasingly important in our world such as understanding and exploring different cultures and language, interacting or socializing with people, creativity and improving fluency, reading and writing different languages and many more. There is an intertwining of language and culture. Typically, a particular language points to a certain community of individuals. When you communicate with another language it means you are also communicating with the culture. Without explicitly accessing the language, you cannot comprehend one's community or culture. A year abroad is one of the greatest draws of a language degree. Students will travel to the country where their language of study is natively spoken to immerse themselves in the community and further improve their language skills. Language and Culture degree graduates can work in various sectors and get job opportunities such as: college professor, counsellor, book editor, museum curator, tour guide and many more.
