Study another language
Whatever your level, you can boost your employment, advance your language skills and enhance your cultural understanding by taking a language course as part of your degree.
Study a Language
In the 21st century, it is crucial to be versatile and adaptable to face the challenges of life and work. At Aberdeen, we believe this requires additional skills, and there is no more vital skill for today's global citizens than the ability to communicate in another language.
Having proficiency in another language can boost your CV, open global opportunities and broaden your understanding of people, different cultures and perspectives.
We offer beginner and advanced routes in various languages and several ways to learn:
- As a Single Honours, Joint Honours or Major-Minor Honours degree
- As a complete beginner or an experienced learner, study any of our language options alongside many degree programmes, including our science degrees (timetable permitting)
- As part of our 'Sustained Study' programme during the first two years of your degree.
