Language course subsidy scheme

Both undergraduate and taught postgraduate IR single honours students can apply for a 50% reduction in fees for a Centre for Language Studies non-degree course.

Take a look at this page for full details of the courses on offer.

The vast majority of non degree language courses commence in week 4 of the Autumn Term which is the week commencing Monday 19 October 2026.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: This will be 5.00pm on Tuesday 13 October 2026. Applications will open so and all eligible students will be sent more details by email.

As both the Government and International History Departments run separate language course subsidy schemes, joint honours students are not eligible to apply to the International Relations subsidy programme.

Please note: the Department will confirm to the Centre for Language Studies those who are eligible for funding. They will take this subsidy into account when asking you to pay the fee for your non-degree modern language course via the School's payment portal.
