If you would like to use the semester break to improve your language skills, the Language Centre of the Universities in the Land of Bremen (SZHB) has many offers in its summer program: From one to two-week intensive courses to educational leave programs and individual self-study courses.
In addition to our tried-and-tested courses, we regularly add new languages to our program: After a long break, two intensive French courses will be offered again this summer, and you can also learn sign language, Korean, Dutch, Spanish, and many other languages.
Educational Leave: Officially Recognized Language Learning
As always, beginner courses in Italian, Polish, and Russian, as well as English courses with a target level of B1 are recognized as educational leave under the Bremen Educational Leave Act. In addition to students and prospective students, these courses are also open to employees and interested members of the public.
Improve and Certify Your English Skills
For advanced learners, the summer program offers two-week intensive English courses (levels B2 to C1). What makes these courses special is that they enable students to obtain officially recognized language certificates for university admission (UNIcert). Detailed information on content, dates, and registration options is available on the Language Centre’s website.
Individual Learning with Professional Support
The Language Centre also supports independent learning outside of courses with its Language Resource Centre, tandem program, and Writer's Help Desk, which is available year-round and offers students feedback on English-language texts and support with academic writing. All of these services are free of charge for students.
The accompanying language program for the 2025 summer semester will begin on October 13, 2025.
