IMPORTANT NOTICE: ADVICE FOR SECOND- AND THIRD-YEAR STUDENTS ON TAKING MODULES TAUGHT BY THE LANGUAGE CENTRE

Students are permitted to take language modules taught at the University's Language Centre (located on the ground floor of Humanities). However, students are not permitted to take Language Centre modules whose levels are lower than university-level study. These can be studied in your spare time in every year of study. For their degree, students can take a language at the Language Centre at Level 5 in their second year; and Level 6 in their third year. Students who want to study a Language Centre module as part of their degree need to speak to their personal tutor, in order to obtain approval from the Directory of Undergraduate Studies.
