Languages for All

Registration for the spring term short courses is now closed. We will be opening registration for the autumn term year-long courses in September.

Take your language skills to the next level with one of the University of York’s Languages for All (LFA) courses. 

We offer around 14 languages from Medieval Latin to Spanish. Whether you are a student, a member of staff or a member of the public, we have a course for you.

Why take a course?

• To start a new language or improve an existing one
• To get a competitive edge and improve your employability
• To gain an insight into another culture
• To develop your skills before travelling, studying or working abroad
• To enhance your degree - undergraduate students can take a year-long LFA course for credit at no charge (subject to agreement from their department)

All of our courses are delivered by staff from the University of York’s Department of Language and Linguistic Science.
