We teach over 20 languages including Swahili, Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian and Vietnamese. You don't have to have a language qualification to apply, just a keen interest to learn. You'll be taught by staff with extensive experience and engagement with the regions you study with many opportunities to take part in film screenings, museum visits and student conferences. We also partner with universities around the world to offer students a year or summer abroad to gain a deeper insight into the societies and cultures they choose to focus on.
