Foreign Languages for General and Professional Purposes

Our program

Our program in Foreign Languages for General and Professional Purposes allows you to learn a great variety of languages from scratch or to consolidate and expand language competencies that you already possess.

The initial levels of instruction (usually A1 to B1) deal with the basics of the target language which enable you to tackle everyday situations such as shopping, expressing personal wishes and needs, etc.

On the higher levels (usually B2 to C1) students improve their language skills to an extent that enables them to cope with more diverse and challenging situations in various private and professional settings (e.g. a semester abroad, an internship at international organizations).

Most of our courses cover the four classic areas of language acquisition, namely reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In addition, we offer several other formats that allow you to hone particular skills or to learn new ones. Examples include - but are not limited to - conversation classes, business communication, job application workshops, and creative writing.

Our classes are open to students from other colleges and universities on the condition that there are places available. Fees are 20 EUR (2 contact hours) or 40 EUR (4 contact hours) per course and term for students of Osnabrück University, as well as 80 EUR (2 contact hours) or 110 EUR (4 contact hours) per course and term for all other participants.
