The Language Center is the central point of contact for all university members who wish to improve their foreign language skills or learn a new foreign language and/or seek advice on questions that arise with the use of foreign languages in an academic or professional context through the Translation Service.

While the Language Center is expanding its own offers, it also refers to existing offers within and outside the university and thus contributes to closer networking.

The Language Center’s offers are aimed at all university members, whether you are studying, teaching, researching or working with us: please contact us with your questions and requests and we will try to find a suitable offer for you.

For international students who are interested in studying at HSBI or who are already enrolled with us, HSBI offers preparatory and study-related German courses.
