Postgraduate taught students
Postgraduates on taught programmes can either study a language using credits or as a self-funded student.
Enrolment options
You can either study a language as part of your degree (using credits) or alongside your degree (not-for-credit modules).

Masters students can take Languages for All modules as part of their degree. You can explore our range of languages here: Choose a language.
The majority of Languages for All modules are worth 10 credits. As Masters modules are worth 15 credits, Masters students who study with the MLTC will also automatically be enrolled in the Enhanced Languages module (worth 5 credits).
- Not-for-credit

The University of Sheffield offers language study as an extra-curricular activity in addition to studies within degree programmes.
Not-for-credit modules are provided by the Modern Languages Teaching Centre and the School of East Asian Studies.
