The Certificate in Modern Languages is a 30-credit certificate drawn from a mix of courses in Modern Languages and other departments. It provides you with a highly professional and yet practical approach to the study of the languages of your choice.
You will be exposed to studies in your chosen language of specialty while exploring studies in other disciplines such as Anthropology, Communications, Geography, History and Philosophy. This creates a synthesis of interest that benefits you in your future academic or professional career.
