Each semester, the Language Center at osnabrück University offers courses in English, Spanish, and French that address study-related topics. You learn how to use the foreign language in academic and vocational situations. This includes:

•    listening to and processing talks
•    preparing and delivering talks
•    actively participating in discussions and meetings
•    mastering subject-specific forms of written communication

Students interested in participating in a language course for academic purposes need to at least have a proficiency level of B1 according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Please check the course descriptions for more details.
Our classes are open to students from other German colleges and universities on the condition that there are places available.
