50+ degrees shuttered at UoN. Yet the prospectus indicates c.650 PGT/UG programmes in total. So how does 50 mostly UG cuts (from c.250 courses) equate to 'less than 5%' of the UoN offer? Am I failing to math

Nottingham has one of the most vibrant and forward-looking departments of modern languages around. Music too. To cut them like this, leaving no chance for future rebuilding, is educational vandalism.

In a world where we are becoming increasingly inward-looking, the study of MFL is more important than ever - it’s a way of looking outwards and understanding difference. By learning to listen, understand, and communicate we learn tolerance and respect for others. Something sadly lacking these days.

When I studied German (elsewhere) many years ago, Nottingham was considered one of the very best places to go for modern languages. It’s sad to see such an important subject being devalued, and the university devaluing itself as a consequence.
