Certificate in Languages
The Certificate in Languages (CertLang) is a way you can take language courses at the same time as you study for any degree (including the BA). Your language study will be recognised through the award of an additional qualification.
Learning a language is an invaluable way of gaining insight into another culture. You can also add context to your study of other subjects and increase your skill set for future employment.
You have the option of converting the courses you have passed to the Diploma in Languages (provided you have not been awarded the CertLang).

The CertLang is taken part-time and is equivalent to one semester of full-time study. You would normally take it concurrently with enrolment in a degree. The time you take to complete will depend on how you structure your enrolment.
| Your CertLang must include: | Courses/points |
|---|---|
| 60 points | 4 courses (15 point each) |
| One or two languages | Language courses chosen from those available for the CertLang |
| Courses at more advanced levels | Courses above Stage I: at least 2 |
You have considerable flexibility as to how you structure your study. It may be possible to obtain 15 points credit towards this qualification, including a General Education course.
