Hide-The programme is designed to appeal to three main groups of students: (i) post-Leaving Certificate students who, in advance of embarking on their chosen degree programme, wish to gain a stand-alone qualification in languages, which will, for example, provide them with the language skills needed to exploit to the full the opportunities for Erasmus mobility in their degree programme: language skills and the maturity and independence acquired through study abroad are recognised by prospective employers as an important part of the educational experience; (ii) mature students who wish to improve existing language skills and/or learn new languages for personal development or career reasons; (iii) students currently registered on UCC degree programmes may apply for permission to take the certificate over two academic years, as an additional 10 credits per academic year (i.e. one language per year).
The programme will broaden participants’ horizons by allowing them to engage with different cultures. It will also prepare them to play their part in the national strategy to up-skill the work force, with specific reference to the need for the linguistic skills which will contribute to export-driven economic recovery, and which are a specific regional skills requirement for the expanding Global Shared Services sector.
On successful completion of this programme, students should be able to:
read texts at an appropriate level in each of the languages studied and perform tasks based on their comprehension
communicate in writing at an appropriate level and in a range of registers in each of the languages studied
perform tasks based on aural comprehension at an appropriate level in
each of the languages studied
communicate orally at an appropriate level and in a range of registers in each of the languages studied
demonstrate awareness of aspects of non-linguistic communication relevant to each of the languages studied
