Languages for All offers courses in a wide range of modern languages as part of its Institution Wide Language Programme (IWLP). We provide high quality courses for students and staff.
The main aims of the courses are to develop the ability to use the chosen language effectively for the purpose of practical oral and written communication, and to provide insights into the culture and civilisation of the countries whose language is being studied.
Whether you are a beginner or wish to brush up on your existing knowledge, learning a language can be fun, rewarding and enhances your career prospects.
Language course options
You can study a language as:
- A credit-bearing module (optional or compulsory) - for students who are eligible to take an optional or compulsory 20-credit language module as part of their degree.
- A Free Language course (FLC) - priority given to full time, campus-based undergraduate students who are not taking a language as an credit-bearing module. Also available for campus-based postgraduate students and University of Birmingham staff where availability permits.
