As part of your degree course
The University offers a number of courses which allow students to opt to study languages as part of their degree course. Each 20 or 10 credit module normally has five to six hours tuition per week, covering speaking, listening, reading and writing. The courses which offer language studies can be found at A-Z course listing.
As an additional module
Students who wish to study language without earning official degree bearing credits, are able to audit modules for a modest fee subject to their individual timetables and the availability of space in the relevant class. New students will be assessed by the teaching team upon their arrival in order to place them in the appropriate level.
