Students without Borders language course

Students without Borders is a language course for Medicine, Dentistry, and Healthcare students (and those who are intercalating) to learn French or Spanish with a focus on medical vocabulary.

Studying a language will enhance your CV and could help you to study for your elective overseas.

Once you complete the module, you'll receive a certificate of successful completion. If you don't complete the course, it has no negative impact on your degree programme.
