Modern Languages Programme
Explore the Francophone, Hispanophone, Lusophone and Sinophone worlds! Foreign languages offer transferable life skills in intercultural communication, critical thinking and adaptability. They combine well with any discipline to increase critical thinking, analytical skills and employability. About half of the world's population is bilingual or multilingual, are you?
Foreign languages are ideal for individuals who are dynamic, curious, open-minded and enjoy travelling and interacting with others.
NB: Students from the Faculties of
Medical Sciences,
Law,
