Course information
Our language courses follow the University’s academic calendar, with year-long courses starting in Week 1 of Semester 1 and Semester 2 courses starting in Week 1 of Semester 2.
You can find term dates, teaching weeks and other key dates on our application deadlines, course fees and term dates page.
Depending on your language and course, you’ll study on campus, online or through a blend of both, with the teaching format shown on each course page.
Courses need a minimum number of students to run. If your course cannot go ahead, we’ll let you know before classes start and, where possible, offer you a place in an alternative class.
We don’t expect class times to change once teaching begins, but if exceptional circumstances mean a change is necessary, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
