CULP offers weekly or bi-weekly classes in over a dozen languages throughout the year. Most courses run from Michaelmas to Lent, but there are intensive course offerings in Easter and sometimes in the summer.

Please note that only continuing students (in Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çto the following academic year) will be eligible for reimbursement if they take the courses offered in the Easter Term.
How the Language Study Grants work
- Full-time Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çstudents may apply for only one Language Study Grant per academic year.
- Part-time Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çstudents may also apply for support, but their awards will be pro-rated in relation to the length of their course, i.e. one grant per two years.
- 'Attendance-only' language courses (e.g. 'Conversation Hours') are not eligible for support through this grant.
- No awards will be offered to students who enrol on a language course but do not complete the course to a passing standard.
Applying for a grant
- Students must register and pay up front for the of their choice, then attend weekly classes, complete assignments and sit exams as required.
- After successfully completing the course, students should send their completion certificate and breakdown of marks to the Tutorial Office Manager, together with their proof of payment.
- A payment for 50% of the total course cost, (or the difference between the total cost of the course and any funding the student secures from another funder, whichever is less) will then be credited to the student's College account.
Important note: Students should apply within the academic year 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025. Students should also investigate other funding sources that might be available (see below) to cover the remainder of their costs.
