The language units on our Undergraduate Degree Programme 
can be taken by students in order to obtain a Certificate 
of Proficiency in.......... To obtain the Certificate a 
student must pass 6 units, each at 15 CATS credits - so 90 
credits needed. This can be over and above their other 
studies or, in some circumstances, a part of their studies. 
It can also be their only study if they so wish.
