Language Service

The Language Service of the College of Europe supports students throughout their studies in the two working languages of the College - French and English - by offering specialised language courses and workshops targeted to both the academic and professional needs of the students.

Courses in German are offered on both campuses. Russian is offered on the Natolin (Warsaw) campus. Spanish is offered on the Bruges campus. In certain cases, students are able to sit tests for internationally recognised language certificates in these languages.

On the Bruges and Natolin (Warsaw) campuses courses are also offered in Dutch and Polish respectively to help students integrate into the local environment.

Students are encouraged to exchange language skills in this linguistically rich environment throughout their year at the College and have access to a variety of language learning resources.

Students have the opportunity to follow workshops where an active approach is taken towards professionalising diplomacy, negotiation, presentation and public speaking skills. They are filmed, and given linguistic and skills feedback on an individual basis.

For specific language requirements for the different study programmes in Bruges and at Natolin, please see www.coleurope.eu/languages.
