Open a world of opportunities with Open Languages

The Open Languages Programme

Beginning this October, Open Languages, the University of Liverpool’s Institution-Wide Language Programme is offering a comprehensive suite of language modules for undergraduate and postgraduate students, staff, and the general public. We offer a varied choice of languages and a flexible blended learning approach that allows you to fit language learning around your degree programme seamlessly. Click here to learn more.

Open Languages as part of your degree - curricular study

A number of departments across the University of Liverpool offer undergraduates and postgraduates to study a language as an optional module in their degree programme. Click here to learn more about this option.

Open Languages alongside your degree - extracurricular study

All students can choose to learn a language in addition to their degree, as an extra-curricular activity. You will sit in the same classes and study the same content with the same expert language tutors. Learn more about this option here.

Language Levels and Syllabus

You can study Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish in Open Languages. All languages can be studied from beginners level, and most of them can also be studied from intermediate levels, such as GCSE or AS level. Click on the relevant language to see module descriptors and syllabus for each level.

If you have any further questions or have already completed an A-level (B, A or A*) or are a native or heritage speaker and have an advanced level of the language, email us on: openlang@liverpool.ac.uk indicating your name, course, chosen language, and current level so we can advise about your options.
