Contact

We are back on campus and teaching face-to-face. Since we are still working from home a great deal, please contact us via e-mail if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment.

Language Courses

Course Offerings & Exam Regulations

The language centre currently offers courses in 10 languages. Click here for more information on our course offerings in the coming semester as well as on all regulations concerning language courses and exams.

Online Placement Tests

You have previous knowledge of English or German? In that case, it makes sense to take a placement test before you choose a module in the cross-curricular field of studies. Find out more about the online language placement tests onSET here.

Writing support

Concept & Contact

Writing academic texts is a central aspect in your studies. Our writing support will help you with all questions concerning the writing process. Consultations are offered in English or German. Please contact us via email or our consultation form.

Workshops

The writing support team regularly offers workshops on academic writing, e.g. as part of the event series “Moonlight Studying” offered by the Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB). Check our “News” to find more information about current workshops.
