Language Courses

Dive into the multilingual world of SEA-EU, where over 90% of students bring English skills, and nearly half are familiar with Spanish, French, and German. While Polish and Croatian expand our linguistic horizon, we’re enhancing language learning opportunities across the alliance. With courses in national languages and specialized programs, we’re committed to broadening linguistic competencies, embracing Croatian, French, German, Maltese, Polish, Spanish, and English, enriching our community’s global communication and cultural understanding.

Virtual Language Courses

The SEA-EU Virtual Language Courses is an activity based on the principle of reciprocity: On this virtual language platform, we list courses offered by each SEA-EU partner university to participants from other partner universities.



We strengthen our alliance by coordinating and maintaining an up-to-date list of language courses. Thereby, SEA-EU students and staff can obtain centrally all the information needed for enrollment into these online courses. The platform/list is updated regularly as new courses become available.

Conditions of enrollment

  • The course offers are meant for SEA-EU Alliance Universities’ students and staff: Registration is only considered if made with a valid institutional email address.
  • No ECTS credits will be awarded.
  • A certificate of participation will be issued, upon attendance to >75% of the course.
  • An evaluation of the course by participants is appreciated at the end.
  • Registration is binding.
  • No guaranteed spots.

 

We strongly encourage participants to self-assess their current language skills and check the course content description and/or learning outcomes of each course prior to registration.
