Other languages is a great subject to pursue for many careers, as it can make a job candidate much more desirable. Pairing a course or program in another language with another degree such as business often makes a student stand out in the crowded job market.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
