The USC Language Centre provides a variety of language courses, the regular English as a Second Language (ESL) programme within a full academic year and short courses in Spanish and French.With our small intimate class size, our students can gain one-on-one guidance in their language programme. In the Language laboratory we can accommodate about 50 students.

Our desire is to provide excellent tutoring results in students who demonstrate fluency in their language of study.

Our programme is unique among the local offering in that we provide opportunities for cultural exposure to students by means of trips to other countries associated with their language of study.
