LEARNALANGUAGE
If you would like to add another skill
to your portfolio, why not learn a new
language?
The Institute of Modern Languages (IML),
located within the University, offers courses
in more than 30 languages, from Arabic to
Vietnamese, at beginner to advanced levels,
and you are most welcome to enrol while
studying at UQ.
IML’s flexible time schedule and well-

valuable language skills but also receive an
exciting cultural experience.
IML language courses cover all four
communication skill areas – listening,
speaking, reading and writing – in small,
friendly classes. You do not need any formal
entry requirements for IML courses and they
will not be counted towards your degree.
IML also offers translation and interpreting
services on a fee-for-service basis.
