Is language a concern?

We have you covered.

Depending on which campus, students can choose from a wide range of languages including Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Spanish. This course is designed to equip you with essential language skills so you can live, study or work abroad for a short time.
