Several events will be held to celebrate the anniversary of the Language Centre of the Universities in the Land of Bremen. Over the last three decades, it has provided students and staff from Bremen and Bremerhaven’s four state higher education institutions a wide range of language courses.
The celebrations will include an afternoon of language learning events on May 24 – with workshops, language cafés, a photo opportunity, and information stands in Bremen City Library’s central location. The Language Centre of the Universities in the Land of Bremen (SZHB), Goethe-Institut, Instituto Cervantes, and Institut français will present their courses and invite you to participate. There will also be an event in May at the Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences. The SZHB will offer an introductory course in German sign language on Tuesday 27 May as part of Diversity Day. On Saturday, June 21, Claudia Harsch will give a talk (in German) at Bremen’s House of Science as part of “Wissen um 11” about what it means to be at language level B1 and whether “my B1” and “your B1” are the same. Additional events are planned at Bremen’s higher education institutions throughout the year.
Courses Offered in over 20 Languages
For the past 30 years, students from the University of Bremen, Hochschule Bremen - City University of Applied Sciences, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, and University of the Arts Bremen have been able to select from courses in more than 20 languages each semester – ranging from Arabic to Korean, from German as a foreign language for incoming students to Italian for outgoing students, from English for Logisticians to Polish for University and Career. In addition to curricular language courses, the SZHB also offers numerous language courses free of charge for which General Studies credits can be obtained, as well as a wide variety of self-directed language learning programs. Employees from all areas also profit from the diverse selection of courses. The SZHB assists academics with individual language coaching, including writing publications.
One of the SZHB’s features is its close cooperation with Bremen’s renowned cultural institutes. German courses for international students and visiting researchers are offered in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut; Spanish courses by the Instituto Cervantes, and French courses by the Insitut français.
An Important Contribution to Academic Mobility
The SZHB’s core mission is providing language lessons. At the same time, the SZHB’s team of more than 70 people offers much more – including curriculum development, certification of recognized language exams, and encouragement of multilingualism. As an important building block of the HEI internationalization strategy, the SZHB provides a significant contribution to the academic mobility and intercultural openness of higher education in Bremen.
“Our wide range of services, tailored to the needs of students, academics, and administrative staff, demonstrates the SZHB's important contribution to science, research, job market preparation, and international collaboration,” says Prof. Dr. Claudia Harsch, academic director of the language center.
