Are you looking for the city where you could  broaden your mind and meet people from different parts of the world? Vienna is without a doubt, the ideal place for this purpose, due to the thousands of students  and tourists from the entire globe. But what is the key to the successful communication?

It is not a secret that the more languages we know, the easier it is to find ourselves in such a multicultural city. The knowledge of foreign languages could be also helpful while looking for a job or applying to the University. Although Universität Wien Sprachzentrum is one of many places in Vienna, which offer language courses, this one is exceptional and worth looking closer.

In the wide range of courses there is something for everyone. Apart from German and English language, which are obviously the most popular ones, there are 30 various languages in the offer including Italian, Spanish, Polish, Chinese etc. so you can join a group and meet people with similar interests.

German language

German is naturally still on the leading position when it comes to languages, which are chosen the most often. Many people who come to Vienna and plan to stay here for a longer period of time, need to master their German language for different reasons. In order to meet their expectations, Universität Wien Campus offers courses throughout the year. There are many possibilities depending on the level (A1-C2), frequency and the time of the day you prefer. One of further options, especially for young people, is summer intensive courses with an accommodation. Now, due to the corona virus, there is also a chance to take an online course and learn a language without leaving your home.

For those who wish to pass language exams and acquire a proof of their language skills, there are preparation courses as well.
