Additional Areas of Strategic Importance under the Teaching and Learning Theme Language Skills, Gaelic and British Sign Language Sample Clauses

Additional Areas of Strategic Importance under the Teaching and Learning Theme Language Skills, Gaelic and British Sign Language. ‌ Growth in language skill provision continues at the University, largely as a consequence of its strategic goals around internationalisation. Whilst the University continues to offer Sustained Study options to students, as discussed in the three-year Outcome Agreement, new language provision is coming on stream from September 2018.

The scheme developed out of a range of initiatives that the School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture has developed in partnership with Aberdeen City Council, SCILT (Scottish national centre for the promotion of language learning) and the University Council of Modern Languages Scotland.
