#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.
