The English courses are particularly subject-specific, focusing on technology, natural and social sciences, healthcare, and business English. Many of these courses offer learners the opportunity to obtain a B2 or C1 certificate. For Italian learners, the next CILS exam (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera) will be offered on December 5.

Courses for Heritage Languages, Multilingual Formats, and Preparing for a Stay Abroad

The heritage language courses for Kurdish, Polish, Russian, and Turkish are aimed at students who want to improve their language skills acquired at home in an academic context. They are free of charge for students at the University of Bremen. The SZHB also offers free writing and presentation workshops for students with German as a second language.

The portfolio of multilingual course formats has been expanded once again. In addition to courses for Polish-Croatian or Spanish-Catalan, the SZHB is also offering a Portuguese course for learners with previous knowledge of Spanish for the first time in the winter semester. Many of the language courses also prepare students specifically and compactly for a stay abroad.

Independent Learning and Individual Support

The Language Center's self-study area offers many flexible additional options, e.g. language cafés in eight languages, mini strategy workshops on language learning, and an online platform for arranging language tandems. As part of the tutoring program, language enthusiasts can pursue their individual learning goals with the support of student tutors. The Writer's Help Desk provides students with individual advice on writing texts in English. All additional services are free of charge for students at the University of Bremen.
