Welcome to the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) and to this short video on language courses.
Whether you want to tap into the global job market, or gain skills you can use closer to home, language learning will open many doors for you... even if your final honours degree is in something completely different!
In this video, Iona MacIntyre (Senior Tutor) takes you through what languages you can study over a full year, for 40 credits, and for one semester, for 20 credits.
The vast majority of our languages are open to complete beginners. French is the only subject where you would need to have some prior knowledge if you want to take a 40-credit, Level 8 course (but you can do it at Level 7 for 20 credits).
If you have any queries about what you can do and when, don’t hesitate to drop us an email - LLC.undergrad@ed.ac.uk - or come along to one of our online Q&A sessions on Monday 5 September or Tuesday 6 September 2022. You'll find all the details in the Course Options Hub > Highlighted Courses.
