Spring Semester 2025
For the Spring Semester 2025, we offer our programme of evening language courses for general purposes in French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
The evening language classes will resume the last week of January 2025. Various languages and levels are available.
- The classes are open to UL students and UL staff members as well as members of the general public.
- Each course consists of 20 hours class contact over 10 weeks running from the last week of January until April 2025.
- All the classes held this semester are continuation classes from last semester and therefore not suitable for complete beginners.
- Face-to-face classes are held from 18.00 to 20.00 on one evening per week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays, depending on the language/level/mode of delivery).
- These courses are designed for adult learners interested in learning a language or improving their existing foreign language skills.
- We also offer tailor-made courses for private groups/organisations. Arrangements can be discussed with the course coordinator (see details below).
- For more information on the classes offered, please contact Dominique Le Meur by email: Dominique.Lemeur@ul.ie
