You could also work as a language assistant in a school or college. Whatever route you choose, we鈥檒l help you prepare in our special second year employability module.
Beginners LanguagesStudying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
