The classes are designed to cater for a variety of levels - from absolute beginners to advanced learners seeking to develop their language skills. You can find out more about the levels here.

I am a Bangor University Student

The Languages for All scheme – funded by the University and Erasmus+ – has made it possible for all registered Bangor University students to enrol on one module per semester FREE OF CHARGE (subject to availability).

The modules are offered both in audit mode – that means there will be no formal assessment and no credits will be awarded on completion of the module – or as 10 credit modules – that means two compulsory exams will have to be passed. Changes in the type of registration will not be possible after the second week of the course.

All sessions will be face to face, in the Main Arts university building.*

Register here.
