2. Description of the Programme
More and more employers are looking for graduates in all fields who have additional language skills and the Language Centre can help you with this. We realise that as a future global citizen, you will travel, live and work in countries across the world and that’s why we can help you get the language you study with us named on your degree title, ‘with proficiency in…’.
This involves successfully completing a minimum of 60 credits in one language taken through the Language Centre, of which 30 credits must be at Level 2 (Beginners Fast-Track or Intermediate 1) or higher. You could choose to start a new language from scratch or develop an existing one.
For example, a Geography student who passes 30 credits at Spanish Beginners and a further 30 credits at Spanish Intermediate 1 could have their degree title amended to BA (Hons) Geography with proficiency in Spanish.
If the 60 credits are ALL at NQF Level 6 then the words "with proficiency in advanced?...." can be added.
