A solid basis in English language skills for your future studies and work

In this minor, you will develop your own English language skills to a level that guarantees a solid basis for your future studies and work in a professional environment, especially in an international setting.

The type of approach used throughout the courses means you will become more aware of the role of language in different contexts and communicative situations. This will allow you to quickly analyse the type of communication in new contexts, for instance quickly understanding the aim and structure of a new type of text, or its style and tone.
