Language learning support

If you’re interested in learning a new language or improving a current one, our Language Zone has learning facilities you can use for free.

If you’d like to learn a language as part of your degree, you may be able to study a language module through Languages for All.

If English isn't your first language, we have free, part-time courses and workshops to help you to develop your academic English language skills.
