Free Language Course with Scholarship: Dutch, German or French

Are you a UM student looking to boost your chances on the (EU) regional labour market? With a scholarship, you can follow a free advanced language course in Dutch, German or French (B2, B2+ or C1minus).

 

Why participate?

  • Language skills are a key competence for employers.
  • In border regions, bilingual professionals are in high demand.
  • Dutch, German or French opens doors both regionally and internationally.

 

What does the scholarship include?

  • Full reimbursement of the course fee after successful completion.
  • A 14-week course at the UM Language Centre (starting in September or February).
  • Limited number of scholarships, only for UM students (1 per person).

'Following this course also felt that you are doing yourself a favor. It was just the piece of knowledge that was lacking in my German language skills. And I think it is Wunderschön that the university wanted to help by offering the scholarship.'
