Modules

Take a language module for credit as part of your undergraduate or graduate degree programme. We offer courses in nine modern foreign languages, English for Academic Purposes and British Sign Language.

Registration for modules in 2024-25 is now closed

If you have previously selected a CLIE language module on Portico but not completed the CLIE online application form then you can and should still do so. 

Changing levels
If you are currently registered on a CLIE language module and have discussed changing your level with your teacher, it is still possible to change your level.

 

Class start

CLIE language module classes started in the week beginning Monday 07 October 2024 (UCL week 7).

Teaching delivery

  • CLIE language modules are taught face-to-face wherever possible.
  • Workshops are online.
  • Any online sessions will be synchronous.

Schedule

Classes are scheduled around the availability of the students registered for each module, using information on the UCL Online Timetable, if you have the module selected on Portico then you should see your allocated group(s) in your personal timetable.

Online Timetable

You should see your allocated group(s) for your module in your personal timetable on the UCL Online Timetable, where you can see the class location. We recommend you check the UCL Online Timetable shortly before your class each week in case of any updates.

Modules appear on the UCL Online Timetable the day after you select them in Portico.

After this you are then allocated to a specific CLIE language module class(es). Allocations are done automatically on a daily basis; in cases where the system is unable to meet all criteria then this is done manually, when we take into account your other teaching events.

Class location:

  • Face-to-face classes: UCL maps.
  • Online classes/workshops: Your tutor will be in touch with you with joining instructions closer to the first class/workshop.
