Additional Areas of Strategic Importance under the Teaching and Learning Theme Language Skills, Gaelic and British Sign Language. ‌ Language Skills Growth in language skill provision continues at the University, largely as a consequence of its strategic goals around internationalisation. Whilst the University continues to offer Sustained Study options to students, as discussed in the three-year Outcome Agreement, new language provision is coming on stream from September 2018. New Honours options in Mandarin, enabling the expansion of Mandarin delivery, will be available, alongside a new MA degree in Modern Languages and Translation and Interpretation.
