MEIS students can obtain 6 credits by taking a second language workshop at CLA and achieving the B2 level.

To reach the B2 level in German, French and Spanish, students can attend classes at the University Language Centre (CLA). The CLA also offers courses in Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese (not up to the B2 level), provided that at least 8 students enroll.

All students with little or no knowledge of the language are advised to enroll in the course at CLA and start studying at the very beginning of the Master’s course.

More in-depth information is available every year in the MEIS student handbook, on page Programme guide and documents.

If you have any questions not answered in the Student Handbook, please email the Delegate for Foreign Language.
