If you are an overseas student whose native language is not English, it may be possible for you to take some modules of English language training as part of your degree. Please check carefully with your tutor that your degree programme regulations allow you to take these courses. Staff will be on duty in the Open Access Centre throughout Induction Week to answer enquiries about these courses. Even if you cannot study a language as part of your degree, we can still help you. Our Open Access Centre is fully equipped with video, satellite TV and computers for the independent study of almost 50 languages.
Advisers are on duty to help with independent language learning.
