The Hanze Language & Culture Centre (HLCC) offers a wide range of courses in languages and cultures for anyone interested in improving their language skills and/or cultural competences. You can choose from several language courses at multiple levels, and it is also possible to take a culture module or full minor. Many courses are especially suitable for international students.
Language courses
In the language courses of the Hanze Language & Culture Centre you will train all language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The HLCC works with the European Language Portfolio, consisting of a Language Passport, a Language Biography, and a Dossier. The levels of the European Language Portfolio are taken from the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) with proficiency levels from A1 to C2.
