COURSE STRUCTURE

In the language courses at CAMPUS LinguNEUM we pay special attention to the needs of different target groups.

Our “advanced level” courses are particularly suitable for language learners with previous knowledge from school or comparable course systems. In the first two semesters, these concentrate on repeating and consolidating language structures. In the last two semesters, we focus on developing communication skills in a professional environment. This structure is available for the Romance languages French, Italian and Spanish. For BKS (Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), we offer courses for speakers with a family language background at the advanced level. These are particularly suitable for language learners with a mother tongue background who want to become aware of the language structures and improve their reading and writing skills.

Our “general language courses” are suitable for participants without previous knowledge.

You will find detailed course descriptions under the menu item “course programme“.

If you have any questions about our course structure and/or placement in general, we will be happy to advise you by phone, in person or by e-mail! In the following slider you will find an overview of the course structures of the semester courses at CAMPUS LinguaNEUM.
