Modern Languages
At Leicester, our courses will not only help you master a new language, they’ll ensure you achieve cultural fluency too. You’ll be taught predominantly by native speakers, and thanks to our partly-funded two-week summer school and our impressive year abroad options, you’ll have the opportunity to experience total linguistic and cultural immersion.
