French and Spanish [IPML]

 

Residence abroad options vary according to the total duration of your degree programme (you choose your pathway in Year 1):

• IPML4: if the programme is to be completed in 4 years, you spend the second semester of year 2 at one of our partner institution in the country of your first language of study, followed by one summer vacation (before year 3) in the country of your second language of study and one summer vacation (before year 4) in the country of your first or second language of study.

For a list of our partner institutions, see http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/residence-abroad/options/

• IPML5: if the programme is to be completed in 5 years, you spend year 3 divided between countries where both languages are spoken, followed by one summer vacation (before year 5) in the country of your first or second language of study. Alternatively, you can opt for the residence abroad options of the 4-year programme and add a year abroad in year 4 (in which case, the year can be spent in the country of either of your languages of study or split between your two languages of study).
• IPML6: if the programme is to be completed in 6 years, you spend year 3 divided between countries where both languages are spoken; year 5 can be spent in the country of either of your languages of study or split between your two languages of study.

For all of these options, at least one period of residence abroad (preferably the longest) must be spent in a professional environment.

Restrictions (IPML4)

in principle, the IPML4 pathway is not available to these students.
