Note to Personal Tutors and student support officers
The School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures is offering 20-credit introductory courses in Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, German, and Arabic to permit students to take one of these in addition to their normal 120-credit load, if they wish.
Each course has the normal work load of a 20-credit course and in registering, students are committing themselves to that course in terms of work and attendance. There is a limited number on each course and once full – no further registration will be allowed. Students should be reminded that they are taking on this extra academic load at their own risk.
As normal, any queries about these individual courses should be directed to the relevant person listed under each course in EUCLID.
