Contextual Studies Language Courses

Within the contextual studies, we offer courses at CEFR-level A1 to C2 depending on the chosen language. These are coordinated by the University of St.Gallen’s School of Humanities & Social Sciences (SHSS).

You will find information on evidence of native language, language requirements and evidence of linguistic proficiency in the implementation provisions on the right hand-side of this page.

Important: The Language Center provides information about general questions regarding languages in the Contextual Studies (language courses, exams, evidence of proficiency, etc.). The Language Center is in no way responsible for the administration of these courses.

If you have questions about the content of the language courses at the assessment, bachelor or master level, please contact the course lecturers directly.
