English
Our English training programme enables University employees to deepen and expand their English skills and is tailored to their individual tasks and language levels.
Two days a week, workshops are regularly held on specific topics to help employees use English in their day-to-day work with international guests, partners and students. Simply select the workshops that are of particular importance to your work.
If your focus is on developing and maintaining your language skills, you can naturally think 'outside the box' and integrate workshops into your personal programme that may seem less relevant at first glance. These, of course, are subject to course capacity and can only be attended in consultation with your supervisor.
In addition to our regular courses, we also offer individual, departmental and group training courses. The following conditions apply:
Courses are held on a predefined number of days (usually four to eight). The appropriate number of sessions is determined on an individual basis.
Topics must be communicated by the department or group as early as possible, but at least four weeks before the first session.
If you require advice on choosing the right course(s) or have questions about individual and/or departmental training, please send your query to englisch.sprachsupport@uni-muenster.de.
