Based in the heart of Kingston, Kingston University offers a flexible and exciting range of opportunities to study modern foreign languages. This could be learning a new language, or building on existing knowledge of a language.
Kingston Language Scheme (KLS) is a university-wide programme that provides high-quality language courses to everybody – Kingston University students, staff and the wider community. KLS is committed to providing language and cultural awareness courses to all students.
For an authentic language experience, you'll be taught by experienced and highly-qualified language teachers, many of whom are native language speakers.
KLS language modules are delivered as combination of blended learning (face-to-face and online virtual classes), face-to-face and fully online courses depending on the language module.
For information on levels on offer, timetables and methods of delivery for specific courses in the academic year 2024–25, please click on the individual language. Please note that the advertised times for our language courses may be subject to change.
