Its second incarnation was as an enterprise unit of the University of Southampton. The Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies, (also known as LLAS) was one of 24 subject centres of the Higher Education Academy in the United Kingdom. Formed in 2000 as part of the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN), LLAS was hosted by the University of Southampton 2000-2011, jointly with the University of Hull, 2000-2003. In 2004 the functions of LTSN were incorporated into the newly formed Higher Education Academy.
