Outreach events in the School of Modern Languages
We offer a range of opportunities for young people of all ages and from all backgrounds to engage with students and academics in the School of Modern Languages and discover what it is like to study languages at Bristol.
Upcoming events
Academic year 23-24
- A Modern Languages stream on our Access to Bristol programme, for local students in Y12 interested in finding out more about what studying languages at University is like. You can express your interest in applying here, so you can be notified when applications open in September.
- Our GCSE Language Support programme will provide local schools with multiple enrichment sessions for MFL students in Year 10. Please note we have limited capacity for these sessions, and details will be defined ad-hoc with participating schools.
We will update this page regularly with more exciting events and programmes running in 22-24!
If you have questions about the above or would like to get in touch about arranging other MFL provision for your students, please contact languages-outreach@bristol.ac.uk
