• Objectives
  The Graduate Diploma in Language provides the opportunity for university graduates to take a language that they have not previously studied at university level. It is designed to provide graduates with linguistic and cultural competence in one of the above languages and thus adds greater portability to their qualifications. At the same time, it increases cross-cultural understanding and awareness, and provides the academic rigour of formal language study. By adding linguistic expertise or strengthening skills already gained in a language other than English, graduates increase their ability to understand and interact with another culture. In addition, graduates' ability to communicate skills and knowledge acquired from their previous university studies is greatly enhanced. Learning outcomes On successful completion of the Graduate Diploma in Language students will: * be able to demonstrate a high intermediate level of language proficiency (Beginners stream) or a mid to high advanced level of proficiency (Advanced stream) in a chosen language; * be able to demonstrate a broad knowledge of cultural issues pertaining to the country / countries where the language of their choice is spoken; * have increased their cross-cultural skills; * have developed an academic rigour of formal language study; * have developed a working knowledge of successful strategies for language learning.
