#ThinkLanguages at Third Level...
There are many options available for studying languages at third level. During #ThinkLanguages Week, universities across the country will give schools the opportunity to get an insight into life on campus when studying a language.
Schools can organise a visit from a student ambassador during #ThinkLanguages Week, or a trip to campus to discover more about life as a language student. This will give students the opportunity to explore college and career paths through languages.
More information about the third level institutions in your region is available here.
#ThinkLanguages as a Career in the EU...
The Department of Foreign Affairs Career for EU strategy has kindly funded the #ThinkLanguages Champion Team prize for the second year.
