Course summary
Meet people from all over the world in our London location as you immerse yourself in new languages and cultures. With the world more interconnected than ever before – from the online world of social media to working in multinational businesses – being able to speak different languages is invaluable. You can choose whether to study French, German, Spanish, Russian or a combination of two languages. No previous knowledge is needed as we tailor each lesson to your level, from beginner to near-native speaker. Taught by our research-led academics, you’ll learn from their range of specialisms. Benefit from their industry experience, including briefing the UK government on cultural transfers, interpreting in the UN sessions, and consulting on historical films. You'll put your language skills into practice in our interactive and engaging Language Labs. You’ll also have an amazing opportunity to spend your year abroad in a country where your main language is spoken.
Modules
