At the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Debrecen, language training for full-time and part-time students is provided by the Center for Business Language Communication. The current structure of the language center was established in 2023. At the Center of Business Language Communication and Professional Language Education, we teach general and business-specific languages in English, German, French, and Russian.
The educational tasks include providing general and specialized language classes in BA, BSc, MA, and MSc programs, as well as language classes for students in higher-level vocational training.
A key objective of our language center in language teaching is to equip students with goal-oriented professional language skills that meet the demands of the labor market, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and career opportunities, as well as preparing them for the language proficiency exams required for obtaining their degrees. Our aim is to help our students, thanks to their high-level professional language skills, to start with better chances in the labor market and to successfully use their language skills in the international business environment and workplace.
The Center for Business Language Communication is an accredited examination center for the BGE, GazdálKODÓ, TársalKODÓ, and Zöld Út language exams. Additionally, it offers language courses in English, German, and Russian general language, as well as English and German business-specific language under a training program approved by the National Vocational and Adult Education Office, meeting the language learning needs of both students and the city.
The research areas of the Center for Business and Professional Language Education instructors include language for specific purposes of education, various aspects of economic language, intercultural knowledge, and language teaching methodology.
