See, my Dad's a scientist and he was taught nowt but some German outside of hard science. In my time and these days a foreign language is not required, as English has become the language of science.
Many hard science people in the Commonwealth have done nothing else academically but maths/sci and secondary school English since year 10...so they tend to be as good at humanities and social science as arts graduates are at Biology!
