Languages at Dal

Why study languages at Dal?

Whether you want to major in a language, add a language minor to another program, or simply take a course or two, you can take advantage of Dalhousie’s remarkable strengths in language teaching and scholarship.

Dal's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers programs in some of the languages most commonly spoken around the world.

We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in French; undergraduate degrees in German, Russian and Spanish; and rich and dynamic Minors in Arabic, Italian and Chinese (Mandarin).

Dalhousie also has a unique position as a centre where the Classical languages of Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, the sources of many modern languages, are taught within a programme of study of Ancient cultures which retain real relevance to contemporary world issues.

We also offer a Certificate in Intercultural Communication that links language learning to cultural competency in a world of rapid and intensifying exchanges.
