The Centre for Foreign Language Study

The CFLS delivers language learning opportunities to 2,500 students, researchers and staff at the University, as well as to those who use a second language at work and the general public.

Welcome to CFLS

It is our philosophy to encourage language learning as widely as possible, and for a variety of purposes.

Anyone who wishes to learn a language, for whatever reason, should be able to do so. We aim to deliver a broad portfolio of language courses and work collaboratively with other language centres in UK universities. We are a member of the Association of University Language Communities of the UK & Ireland (AULC) and of the confederation of language centres in higher education in Europe (CercleS).
