Drop In Sessions/Online Q&A and placement sessions

Before the start of each term Languages at Leicester run a series of on-campus (face-to-face) drop-in sessions and online Q&A and placement sessions. Join us for an informal chat about the language(s) you're interested in, find out which level is best for you and ask any questions you may have about our courses. Open to everyone, not just students and staff.

Drop-in session

These free 30-minute sessions take place on our Central Campus, on University Road, in the Attenborough Seminar Block and the David Wilson Library. The room ATT 109 is located on the first floor of the Attenborough Seminar Block. At the Library, sessions take place in the Carrer Services Hub, located on the right-hand as you enter the building. You are welcome to attend any of these sessions and drop-in at any point within the 30-minute length.
