Language Resource Centres

Our Language Resource Centres with a whole host of opportunities

We offer a wide variety of different options to provide you with effective support as you learn one or more languages  - regardless of whether you are learning on your own, attending a language course or participating in our tutoring programme.

All three Language Resource Centres have a small reference library and are staffed by friendly student assistants who are happy to help you with any queries you may have about our range of online and conventional programmes.

You can use our range of materials and programmes in the LRC itself, take an English placement test, learn more about our tandem programme, language cafés and grammar tutorials, or find out who is the best person to contact in respect of your particular query.
