Language skills and courses
Do you want to perfect your command of a language used in the neighbouring countries of the Greater Region so that you can take a course or simply learn a new language to be able to move around more easily on the other side of the border? Every partner university of the UniGR network offers courses, some of them leading to a recognised certificate.
The UniGR aims at supporting the learning of, in particular, the German and French language. One possibility for students to test and improve their language skills is to use the UniGR Student Status, which enables students to follow lectures at the partner universities for free. In addition, students can often benefit from the language offers and courses. All the UniGR partner universities have a wide range of offerings to help students improve their language skills. In addition to German and French, most universities offer other foreign languages. For the preparation of an exchange semester in the Greater Region, the Language Centers of the six universities have developed an online course, that is combined with on-site workshops in the Greater Region.
- Intensive language courses and summer courses:
Each year or term, the language-related institutions at the universities in Kaiserslautern, Trier, Saarbrücken, Lorraine and Liège hold (fee-based) intensive language courses in German, French and other languages that are also available to students of the UniGR partner universities.
- Courses during term (usually for free):
Students who are enrolled at the relevant university in the context of the UniGR Student status have access to these courses at all universities. In most cases, the services are for free. Free language courses at the Language Centre (Sprachenzentrum) in Saarbrücken are available to students of UniGR partner universities, even if they are not enrolled at Saarland University.
- In-house language learning tools and online materials (usually for free):
In-house language learning tools and online materials for self-study are available to all students.
