Learning a second language is one of the best ways of improving your employability. To help you achieve this goal, we can provide you with language training and enable you to gain qualifications across the different language levels of the CEFR (the Common European Framework for Languages).
We run language courses for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Chinese, which are open to all our students, to the university community and even to those not affiliated with the CEU UCH. In order to ensure our students are able to grasp the professional opportunities in today’s globalized job market, we have also implemented innovative ventures such as The Hub 101 and we organize exams at the University at discounted prices for those who wish to gain language qualifications.
The Languages Service has been recognized by a range of institutions as an authorised examination centre for official language qualifications.
