Due to its high expertise in language teaching, the HHU Language Center is part of our Alliance. In cooperation with all partners and their language centres, it offers different courses open to all UNIVERSEH students. The offered courses support our goals, namely to promote multilingualism and mobility between students and Alliance partners.
The wide range of courses include:
Starting in April 2023
The UNIVERSEH Online Language Café offers an opportunity to practice French, Swedish, Polish, German or English with native speakers in a relaxed setting, no matter if you are a beginner or a more advanced learner.
All UNIVERSEH-students from our inter-university alliance who are interested in learning and practicing German, French, Polish, Swedish or English are welcome to join. The registration takes place through our registration forms. Students enrolled at the HHU Düsseldorf can register via the online course catalogue HIS-LSF.

English C1: Terms and Concepts of Space
This is a multidisciplinary course. Students will explore the world of Space, while improving their professional English for their future studies and employment opportunities.
Participants will also understand terminologies and concepts for fields relevant to the space sector as part of the UNIVERSEH programme (e.g. "space, earth, natural sciences, medicine, humanities") and contribute to the development of an illustrated Dictionary of Space Concepts that we are developing in cooperation with the Computer Linguistics Dept.
There will be many opportunities to practice different text styles, such as interviewing, biographical notes, reports, and reflection writing. As an online course, digital media are endemic to the classroom environment, and the synchronous meetings will be supplemented with asynchronous tasks that will help students prepare for class and apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills. Continuous cooperation, peer review, video creation, and illustrations for the DSC, will result in a tangible product at the end of the term.
All UNIVERSEH-students from our inter-university alliance are welcome to register! Registration takes place through our registration forms. Students enrolled at the HHU Düsseldorf can register here via HIS-LSF.
