Courses with Modern Language as an option

In a competitive, global marketplace, how can you add extra value to your skills and knowledge? As many companies have overseas offices and do business around the world, having a language skill will make you more attractive to employers.

Our Modern Languages Centre offers a range of languages including; Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, British Sign Language and Professional English (for non-native speakers). The great thing is that our courses also help you develop an understanding of the culture and customs of the countries where your chosen language is used.

Whether you are a beginner or have some proficiency, our courses are flexible and there are three ways we can help you build your language skills

As a minor subject in some course programmes, making up one third of your course.
As a study option in some course programmes, taking one language class per week.
Independent study, registering independently with the Modern Languages Centre

If you are not a student at the University you can enrol with us on a part-time basis.

We have great resources to help your language learning including PC’s with Sanako language-learning software as well as digital satellite TV with access to stations from all over the world. Our self-access Studio is also equipped with dictionaries, magazines and newspapers, reference books and audio-visual aids in a multitude of languages.
