Courses for International Officers / Erasmus Coordinators

 

Do you ever feel like this when you have to speak English?

Would you like to feel like this?

This course is targeted at staff employed in University International Offices and those involved in coordinating Erasmus projects.

The course aims to consolidate and develop the specific English language skills necessary for carrying out this work.

A thematic approach has been taken in the development of the course curriculum. This includes the language of:

  • Finance / Insurance
  • Law / contracts
  • Negotiation
  • Sales / Marketing
  • Giving presentations
  • Technology
  • Ethnic minorities / special needs
  • Work
  • Cultural awareness / stereotypes

The two-week course contains 50 hours tuition.
