Whether you are an absolute beginner or have studied and used the language for several years, there's sure to be a language course for you at COL.
Courses are for all adult learners, from 16 to 99+ year old.
Language tutors are expert language teachers passionate about teaching you how to communicate in your chosen language. All language courses focus on communication skills through task-based learning, with a particular emphasis on listening and speaking.

All our language courses will be taught in-person for the academic year 22/23.
Please note that for the academic year 22/23, we will not be able to offer Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish courses. We no longer offer Czech courses anymore. We apologise for the inconvenience and will advise you if anything changes for the following academic year.
We are currently recruiting teaching staff in Polish, Russian and Swahili and hope to be able to offer courses in these languages in the autumn. Please check back on page later this summer for course options and sign up to our newsletter here to make sure you don't miss any updates.
