Tackle sustainable human development issues to find out how you can make an impact in the real world
Pursue your curiosities in life, conducting background and empirical research to answer your own questions and to build your own awareness and knowledge of the world around you.

Languages
Learn a language and gain insights into other cultures
Learning a language prepares you for the global workplace whilst enabling you to acquire multiple transferable skills. Strong presentation, communication and discussion skills are just a few examples of the competences language-learning affords.
Our interactive classes follow a communicative approach and cover speaking, reading, writing and listening. Teaching includes both pair work and group work, and use of multimedia materials in-class as well as on our e-learning platform (Blackboard).
Horizons languages are available in a range of levels, from complete beginner to advanced. All modules are designed to be standalone, giving the flexibility for students to either try a new language or build on existing skills.
