Additional costs

The normal residence requirement for a European language is 30 weeks in the relevant country or countries. Some students of French, German, Spanish or Italian may apply for posts as English language assistants in schools, for which a salary is paid.

Costs vary according to destinations: capital cities are more expensive than provincial towns. For EU countries, a number of ERASMUS/SOCRATES places are available, which include a small grant from European Commission funds.

Students studying more than one language must complete a minimum period of eight weeks in each country. Some limited government funding may be available from the University to assist with the cost of study abroad during the summer vacation.
