Learn a Language at the University of Teesside

2001 has been designated by the European Union as the European Year of Languages, and the University of Teesside is offering a range of modules which will enable people to expand their language skills. Among the language courses are two evening classes: French for Work/German for Work and Foundation French/ Foundation German.

Teesside International Airport is Patron of the Languages for Work initiative, which will cover a range of work-based situations in both French and German. In support of the European Year of Languages, Teesside International Airport is offering a trip to France and a trip to Germany, to the business person who has made most progress on their French or German for Work courses.

The courses last for a year. Successful students will receive a University Certificate in Professional Development (UCPD). If students have not previously taken any modules at the University fees are £ 90 per course.
