Do you want to further your language studies after an A Level or learn a language from scratch? When studying a language with us, you’ll start at a level that matches your ability. We can help you to reach graduate level in your chosen language.
If your programme allows you to take credit-bearing language modules, you can join us to learn a language as part of your degree. Language modules can be 25% to 75% of your degree, depending on your programme.
If you're not able to do this as part of your degree, you can take advantage of our . This offers free (non-credit bearing) language courses to all ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ students.
If you’re part of the local community or a member of staff, we can offer you the chance to learn a language through our .
Resources
Learning takes place online, face-to-face, and through our virtual learning environment (VLE). Our teaching methods encourage independence and taking responsibility for your own learning. This includes group and pair work, student-led oral classes, and one-to-one consultations.
Your learning will include:
- focus on the four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing)
- grammar
- translation
- interpretation
We also offer sessions. These sessions explore ways you can learn foreign languages independently.
