Undergraduate students
If you aren't studying a language degree but would still like to experience learning a language at the University, you can do so through Languages for All.
Enrolment options
You can either study a language as part of your degree (through guided module choice) or alongside your degree (not-for-credit modules).
- Guided module choice
-
All degrees in the UK consist of 120 credits per year. At the University of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, undergraduate modules are typically worth credits in multiples of 10 (i.e. 10 credits, 20 credits per module). A student must have 120 credits worth of modules on their record each year.
Some degrees, such as Medicine, assign all 120 credits to core modules creating a rigid degree structure for all students on that programme. However, many of our degree programmes incorporate a guided module choice process, to enable students to diversify their learning experience by choosing relevant modules either within or outside of their home department.
If you choose to enrol through guided module choice, the module will:
- Be included in the 120 credits that form your degree
- Affect your ability to progress to the next year of your degree/graduate
The following languages are available as guided modules at various levels:
Arabic, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean, British Sign Language
How to enrol
You can make your selections for your guided modules via if you are a continuing student, or via online guided module choice if you are a new student. You can also view a list of MLTC modules .
