King's Language Centre (LC) supports the studies of King’s postgraduate students by offering credit-bearing modules as well as non credit-bearing modules (PG-only) and discounted Evening & Saturday Language Courses.
Learning a language as a postgraduate student will encourage you to develop the ways in which you learn and retain information. Our postgraduate-only courses focus on reading and speaking skills and revolve around the student's own research.
As a postgraduate student, there are three ways you can study a Language Module or course with the LC. Please note that you are only eligible for one free module or course:
- Language Module (as part of your degree, no additional costs apply*).
- Language Module (outside of your degree, no additional costs apply*).
- PG-only Course (non credit-bearing, no additional costs apply*).
Language Modules
Language Modules are assessed (written and oral exam) and count for credit towards your overall degree programme.
