Not sure what to choose?
We offers electives in fourteen world languages at levels ranging from absolute beginner to advanced. So, whether you’re starting from scratch, refreshing your memory or honing your skills, we have something for you! See the full list of modules on offer below.
Modules are offered at six different levels of proficiency, from Level 1 (absolute beginners) to Level 6 (advanced). Each one of these levels broadly corresponds to the widely recognised CEFR Levels for proficiency in language learning. If you are not a beginner, you have to choose a module at a level which best matches your language skills.
Go to Find Your Language Level to get more information about levels.
