Would you like to learn a new language? Or would you like to continue a language you started learning before coming to university?
The Institution-Wide Language Programme (IWLP) offers modules in 10 languages from beginner to intermediate level. You can take these alongside your degree if you are a student, or alongside work if you are a member of staff.
If you are looking to study a languages degree at Reading, please visit the Department of Languages and Cultures website.
Anyone who works or studies at the University is welcome to study a language with the IWLP. Modules can be taken as a credit module, or as a non-credit course for a fee.
You can choose to learn Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Modern Greek, Russian or Spanish.
Learning a language not only enriches your life and expands your knowledge, it opens opportunities for travel and work around the world.
IWLP modules are available for members of staff. We can also offer tailored options and opportunities for collaborative projects.
