Also under development for launch in September 2001 is a Masters in European Business, Culture and Languages , and in September 2002, an MA in European Cinema. In January 2000, we also began offering a new MA in English Language Teaching by Distance Learning and in September 2000, an MA in Teaching English for Academic and Specific Purposes . We run a very successful International Summer School offering a wide range of options from beginners to post-graduate level. A priority in the School's strategic planning is the development of research . In the most recent RAE ratings 3b for European Studies and 2 for Italian were awarded.
Bursaries are available for research student candidates of excellent standard.
The School sees teaching methodology as one of its primary concerns, and is currently developing its distance learning capability. The Languages Centre is just one of a wide range of student facilities at the University. The School has won European Commission funding three times in succession for new modules.
