Bachelor of Arts in Oriental Languages and Cultures (India)

Considering the fact that as much as 50% of the world population speaks one of the languages taught here, it is fair to say that the Oriental Languages & Cultures programme offers a number of so-called key languages. All of them historically “rich”, these languages all have a major influence on the thoughts and behaviour of a significant part of the world’s population.
