Key Competencies

Communication is a key skill that is naturally an integral part of the Language Center’s language courses. Intercultural competence, giving presentations and engaging in conversation in (foreign) languages, written communication in various situational contexts, and much more are all part of the action-oriented acquisition of a language.

In addition, the Language Center also offers courses on specific aspects of communication that are open to students from all Schools and can be counted toward additional qualifications, as part of required electives, or as components of certificate programs.
