The English language department at the LLC offers a range of general and specific language learning opportunities.
We support students of different degree programs according to their needs. Regular communication with the faculties and the university leadership together with needs-analyses enable us to optimize our course program.
We prepare students for academic and professional life by:
- improving their general and subject-specific English skills in an academic context
- deepening their understanding of academic discourse in English
- strengthening their intercultural communication competencies
- equipping them with the language skills to study and work successfully worldwide
We work within the framework of the LUH Internationalisation Strategy and the goals of the LLC.
