Language courses and language support

Whether your period abroad aims to improve your language competencies or not, it can be a great opportunity to pick up a new skill. Knowledge of a second language is highly valued by many international employers. Even if you are going to a university that will be teaching in English, it is a good idea to pick up the basics of the host language, both from a social point of view and also for your own personal development.

Language Support in Manchester

If you’re interested in taking up a new language, the University Language Centre offers classes in a variety of languages, which can be studied for credit or alongside your degree programme for a small fee. Some languages may be available for study for one semester only. Please contact ULC for further information.

Language tuition in your host country

You may wish to arrive at your destination before the start of semester to undertake a language course. This can be a great way to ease you into life in your host country.
