Courses for International and Regional Partners within the Global Collaboration Network

Your Gateway to Mobility: from the Heart of the Upper Rhine to Europe and the World
The University of Freiburg – a flagship research university consistently ranked among Europe’s top universities – is more than a centre of scientific excellence. Here, ideas cross borders, cultures intersect, and collaborations span continents.
The multilingual programmes of the Language Teaching Centre (SLI) of the University of Freiburg serve as a gateway that unlocks mobility for both students and staff, enabling them to study, teach, and collaborate across borders with confidence.
Our language programmes are designed for students, early‑career researchers, university staff, and professionals who want to broaden their horizons and succeed in an increasingly global environment. All courses combine classroom instruction with practical workshops, peer‑learning groups and optional cultural excursions, ensuring that language skills are applied immediately to academic and professional contexts.
Integrating European & Global Mobility Frameworks
Our language offerings are an integral part of the major mobility and cooperation programmes that drive European and Global exchange (ERASMUS+, EUCOR, LERU, EPICUR, Baden‑Württemberg Exchange Programmes, Freiburg Global Exchange Programme).
By providing language training, we enable participants to:
- Join lectures, seminars, and research projects with confidence.
- Communicate effectively in multinational environments.
- Acquire regional knowledge of the Upper Rhine.
- Enhance employability in global markets.
- Navigate European academic and cultural landscapes.
- Feel at home in Freiburg’s vibrant, multicultural community.
