Modules outside the Main Discipline (MOMD)

The Centre for Modern Languages (CML) is the University of Birmingham's specialist language teaching centre, with extensive experience of delivering modern foreign language courses across the University and beyond.

Modules Outside the Main Discipline

Many degree programmes at Birmingham allow students to take a Module Outside the Main Discipline.  Language modules are particularly popular.  However, some degree programmes do not have provision for an MOMD, so students should check with their Department before enrolling.  Most of our courses are 20 credit modules.  Languages currently offered comprise Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.

The entrance requirements for these courses depend on the exact nature of the programme.  However, all languages are offered at beginners' level and often at intermediate level.  The more common languages have provision for a more advanced level. Students who are not Beginners in the language of study, are asked to consult with staff in CML to assess a suitable level of entry onto their language course.
