CLCS Language Modules 
Broad Curriculum and Extracurricular
Places in optional evening language classes are available for undergraduate students. Classes begin in the first week of the first term and run for two terms, with a weekly 90 minute or 2 hour class. It is important to note that these are not grammar or conversation classes, but instead involve group-based projects with spoken and written components.
Please note that these are optional courses. For credit-bearing language modules, please apply via www.tcd.ie/broad_curriculum. You can read more information about the differences between credit-bearing and optional language modules below.
A waiting list is employed for courses which are over-subscribed, and three rounds of offers are made at the start of Michaelmas term. If you not do obtain a place, you may enrol in later College years. Offers are sent by email at the end of September, following the closing date.
If you are a TCD student, and you wish to take a language module as an extracurricular option (not for credit), please complete an application form and submit it to the CLCS office. Further details are on the application form. (NB New Junior Freshmen entrants to College should complete the application form in their orientation pack.)
