English

The English training programme enables university employees to deepen and expand their English skills, differentiated according to their tasks and language level.

Two days a week, workshops are regularly held on specific topics to make it easier for you to use English in your day-to-day work at the international university. Simply select the workshops that are of particular importance to your work.

If your focus is on developing and maintaining your language skills, it is of course also possible to think outside the box and integrate workshops that may seem less relevant at first glance into your personal programme, subject to course capacity and in consultation with your supervisor.

Individual, departmental and group training courses can be arranged in addition to the courses on offer. The following conditions apply here:

They take place over a predetermined number of dates (usually 4-8). The appropriate number of dates is determined on an individual basis.

Topics must be communicated by the department or group as early as possible, but at least 4 weeks before the first meeting.

Please send requests for advice, help in choosing the right event(s), and questions about events, individual and departmental training to englisch.sprachsupport@uni-muenster.de

  Participation and working hours
  Participation in face-to-face events and instruction/consultation meetings is working time. In the case of online courses, employees may spend up to 90 minutes per week of online English training during working hours for a limited period of time. The duration of that period needs to be negotiated with the respective manager. Use of the online English training programme beyond 90 minutes per week takes place in the learner’s personal time. Language tandem meetings also take place in the participants’ personal time.

  English training will only be recognized as working time if it takes place during standard working hours.
