More information:
If you want to collaborate more effectively at work or in study groups, this seminar is for you. Each week we will examine a behavioural model from the field of Psychology (concepts from F. Schulz von Thun and M. Rosenberg among others) and apply it to a work situation. At the same time vocabulary and grammar from both Psychology and Human Resources will be highlighted and applied to each scenario. At the end of the seminar students will be able to analyse typical work situations and improve collaboration through the concepts and language learned in the seminar.

Enrollment requirements:

Proof of appropriate language level (minimum B2 for B2 courses, C1 for C1 courses), not older than three years.

This can be achieved by:

Taking our online placement test (link)

Submitting a language certificate from a course at the appropriate level (see website for accepted certificates).

Sending us a copy of the Transcript of Records from STiNE showing completion of a course at the appropriate level.

Registrations without proof of the appropriate placement test or certificate will be cancelled.

N.B. If you have already had your level assessed by us in the last three years or have already presented us with a certificate then you do not need to prove your level again.
