Open Languages, the University of Liverpool’s Institution-Wide Language Programme, will launch a suite of language modules for students, staff, and the general public. Covering Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish, we have a varied choice of languages, with a flexible new learning system.
Flexible Learning to fit around you
Open Languages (OL) is available to UG and PG students who can choose to study a language as part of their degree programme** and also to those who wish to take a language in addition to it. OL is also available to staff and members of the public.
Regardless of the study mode, all Open Languages modules:
carry 15 credits,
follow the standard UG calendar of 12 weeks of teaching,
are available in Semesters 1 and 2,
are delivered via one weekly 2-hour seminar on campus, supported with asynchronous materials on Canvas,
if necessary, modules could be taught entirely online - moving the 2-hour seminar to a synchronous Zoom session, but with no hybrid option.
**Currently, subjects offering Open Languages as electives are: Chemistry, Geography, History, International Business, International Relations, Film Studies, Maths and Planning.
**Currently Departments offering Open Languages as electives are: Chemistry, Geography, International Business, Maths and Planning. Please note, elective modules in languages are not available under the International Business with a Year in Industry programme, although you will have the option to sign up for one of our Open Languages short courses on top of your degree for a small fee.
