East Midlands
Greater London
South West
Yorkshire and the Humber
Regions as defined by Government Offices : http:/www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/gor.asp
The Routes into Languages Programme is an England-wide HEFCE and DfES initiative, to increase and widen participation in language study in higher education funded by HEFCE as part of its programme of work to support strategically important and vulnerable subjects.
Further funding has now been made available by the DfES in response to the recommendations of the Dearing review of languages. The Programme has a particular focus on the continuation of language studies post-14. It also aims to support the national role of HE languages as a motor of economic and civic regeneration. The Programme is funded to July 2010. Routes into Languages was developed by the University Council of Modern Languages (UCML), the HE Academy Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) and CILT, the National Centre for Languages. See http:/www.routesintolanguages.ac.uk
Full text of the Call for Bids, the Frequently Asked Questions, and sample successful bid papers are available on the website.
