Learn languages and intercultural competencies online with Unite!
Students in an international environment.
Unite! partner universities offer online courses in language, communication and global competence. Open to all students registered at any of the Unite! partner institutions
Unite!’s Multilingual and Multicultural Training Center has launched this year, the new seasonal series of Virtual learning tools and Language learning. Starting this spring, you can study languages, enhance your global competence and make new friends by taking an online language & culture course together with students from other European universities

Linguistic and cultural diversity, understood as a positive asset, is at the very heart of Unite!
Global competence, understood as the capacity to communicate and work effectively and appropriately together with people from different backgrounds, is increasingly seen as a vital core competence for engineering graduates. This is because with cultural diversity comes the possibility to learn new things from other people allowing you to come up with new ideas to common challenges.

As a rule, we strive for a flexible multilingualism in Unite! which includes: English as the dominant language of instruction at M.Sc. and Ph.D. level, as well as the local language and culture of the partner university. As an alliance we aim to promote common European values and a strong European identity,  that is why the Multilingual and Multicultural Training Center will help the student community by offering the appropriate guidance, help and services to bring together this mobile community. We believe that the best method to promote integration and culture is through language. These series of Virtual learning tools and Language learning are aimed to help students within Unite! develop the linguistic and cultural competencies it takes to thrive and enjoy the benefits of living together in a globalised and culturally diverse world



The courses, some of which already started last December, are all online and offered by all partner universities of Unite!: 

Aalto University (Finland), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Grenoble INP - UGA (France), Politecnico Di Torino (Italy), the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (Spain), the Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal) and the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany)
