UM Language Centre

In a city where 50% of students come from abroad, language isn't just communication, it's connection. At Maastricht University's Language Centre, we like to think of turning these linguistic barriers into bridges. From the first course, you're speaking, negotiating, and presenting instead of memorizing verb tables. You'll tackle real scenarios like pitching in Mandarin or facilitating meetings in Spanish, because fluency comes from doing, not drilling. Just like UM's Problem Based Learning approach: learning by actually doing it. We offer comprehensive language training from English and German to Arabic and Russian, helping students, staff, companies, organisations and other individuals thrive in our international community.
