## Language learning

Learn a new language through our [Language Centre](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/language-centre). as part of your course. Being able to speak another language boosts your employability and opens up new opportunities to work or study abroad.

If you want to improve your language skills or learn a new language by yourself, you can access free learning resources in more than 50 languages from our [Language Centre](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/language-centre/doc/language-zone).

If English isn’t your first language, you can improve your academic English level and prepare for university study with our [undergraduate pre-sessional English course](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/language-centre/doc/undergraduate-pre-sessional-english), available before you start. And once you’ve started your main academic course, you can access workshops and advice to continue improving your academic English language skills.
