Intake procedures
If you have applied for a language course requiring an intake, or if you need advice on the course level or type, you can use the following intake options for the different languages and courses we offer. We advise you to do an intake well before the start of the course. This will make it more likely a spot is available in the relevant module.
All intakes are free of charge and actual meetings take place at the Language Centre (Sint Servaasklooster 32, Maastricht). If you arrive early, please take a seat in the waiting area downstairs.

Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish Courses
No intake needed. Just register for the beginner’s course if you have no knowledge of the language yet or would like to start from the beginning. You can register for a second course if you have prior knowledge and believe the higher level better suits your need. During the first lesson the teacher reserves the right to advise a lower or higher level if better suited given your current knowledge level.
