The Center for Business Languages is dedicated to teaching language skills, especially the basic skills required for courses offered by the Department of  Business Communication. The Center for Business Languages combines two institutions under one roof:

At the Language Resource Center, we provide students and staff with learning materials (books, magazines, language learning apps, software) for more than 40 foreign languages. Our Tandem program, language cafés, workshops, and language learning counseling complement the language learning offerings.

At the WU Business Language Center, newly established in 2018, we offer language courses based on the latest teaching principles—in particular, basic courses (language levels A1 and A2) in Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian, which prepare students for the respective courses in Business Communication. In addition, basic courses in other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese are offered, as well as courses in German as a foreign language at all levels. The language courses can be transferred as free electives. We are also an examination center for several language certificates.

We cooperate in national and international projects dealing with language learning and are also members of various organizations dealing with language learning in the university sector.
