Maastricht University's Language Centre
Centre is the place where the university's students and staff, as well as other people from the Maastricht area and business people from all over the region come to learn foreign languages.
A team of over 60 experienced language teachers provides courses in languages including Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Swedish, Modern Greek, Turkish and Chinese.
The language centre has gained a considerable reputation for teaching Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP)The institute has accumulated extensive experience in providing language training for the civil service and business communities, including individual language learning programmes. In its group courses, it applies the methods used at Maastricht University, which means that groups are basically small (about 12 persons) and that the didactic methods are innovative and student-centred.
The <a href="http://www.languages.unimaas.nl/Staff/Main.asp" target="_blank" class="linkBianco">staff</a> consists of highly qualified professionals specialised in their subject. They are involved in numerous international collaborative networks and research projects in the field of language training.
Since the institute's inception in 1989 many of its Dutch clients have used its services to prepare for a period of work or study abroad. For our non-Dutch clients, the centre is often one of the first places they visit after they have arrived in the Netherlands for an extended period of study or employment. In short: a language course at Maastricht University Language Centre helps you expand your options and opens up new worlds for you.
