Events for Schools and Colleges

The School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences offers a series of regular events to promote the learning of Modern Foreign Languages at different stages of the curriculum and to encourage young people to develop a career with languages.

At these events our lecturers employ the innovative applied approach to language learning used in our degree teaching. Attendees therefore benefit directly from our lecturers' expertise and language teaching methodology in order to experience new ways of learning languages.
