EUT+ Languages for Staff: Language courses for employees

From 2023, the EUT+ language departments and centers have been offering online language courses for all employees of the EUT+ partner universities starting each spring. The aim is to promote multilingualism and interculturality within the EUT+ community and to facilitate cooperation and collaboration between EUT+ employees.

An upcoming professional stay abroad is not a prerequisite; all employees are explicitly invited. Each EUT+ college/university offers its national language(s). During the trial phase in the 2023 summer semester, the courses for each language were offered at one level only. Based on the high level of interest, this year many EUT+ partners offered two courses at different levels. The h_da Language Center offered courses at A1 and B1. Furthermore, the language program was expanded: Irish and Italian were included as well. In 2024, the project received over 500 registrations overall, including over 50 from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Regular participants are awarded an EUT+ certificate of attendance. In the future, the h_da Language Center aims to achieve a general accreditation of the courses as part of the continuing education program for executive h_da staff.

Given its great success, the “EUT+ Languages for Staff” program is set to continue over the next few years. EUT+ language courses for staff will be offered annually from March to June.
