About Us

The Language Centre was established in 2009, although languages and English language have been taught at the University since the 1970s. Proficiency in more than one language is an advantage in today’s globalised economies. The Language Centre offers subjects in Asian and European languages and academics in the Centre have strong reputations for teaching excellence.
