• Everyday English Courses

Depending on capacity, the courses are also open to students of other faculties, Doctoral/ PhD students of the University Jena, students and Doctoral/ PhD students of other German institutes of higher education, employees of the FSU, as well as guests de.

  The courses range from level B1 to C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Thus, advanced participants who want to improve their English skills with the focus on Business English, as well as experts who want to gain additional skills in Business English can find suitable courses.

  If you take a course as part of the Basismodul Fremdsprachen für Studierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaften (BW 36.3), it will run over two semesters. You will obtain for each cours 3 ECTS points if you pass the course. Students of other faculties, international students, or students who already took the Basismodul can participate for one extra semester and gain 3 ECTS points after passing this course.

  You can find the current courses as well as all information about the courses in the online administration system FriedolinExternal link. There we provide a short course overview.

• Subject-specific Courses

  he Language Centre offers English courses which focus on particular subjects. They are useful for students who are B2 level and above (according to the CEFR), especially if you plan to take advanced courses in your study programmes as these often require a wider range of reading skills and advanced vocabulary to facilitate engagement with international publications and issues.

  If you feel that the courses below do not cover your requirements, or you would like to have a course offered in your subject area, please contact us so that we can consider adding new courses.
