Language Opportunity

Avenue Campus with Flags Flying outside

Southampton Language Opportunity (SLO) offers students the chance to learn a new language, alongside their degree. All classes are free of charge to students registered at the University of Southampton.

The classes offer no formal qualification or provide any credit, but are perfect for those wanting to start a new language or polish up on previous skills.

Our next round of courses are the Easter Intensives Courses and these will take place from Monday 15 April to Friday 19 April 2024 for up to 5 hours each day, with a break for lunch.

The languages we are offering are: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish. These courses are all aimed at beginners (Stage 1a), and are a great way to learn a language.

Bookings will open on Wednesday 20 March 2024 at 1pm and the list of courses will not appear until this time. Please note, you will need your student email address and student ID number to register. 

Before you book, please check your academic schedule to avoid a clash. Please note these courses will not appear on your timetable.

If there are no spaces left, please add your name to the Online Store waiting list and the Language Opportunity team will contact you if a place becomes available. 

If you need to cancel a booking, please email [email protected] so that your place can be offered to another student.

If you successfully book a course, you will receive a confirmation receipt with an Order/Invoice number (starting UOS). We will send you an email prior to the start of the course to confirm the course details.
