Important tips:

1)   Please note our terms and conditions for the registration.

2)   If you are interested in a language that is not yet offered in our course programme, please let us know (info-sprachenzentrum@unibas.ch). With a sufficient number of interested students, we will seek to offer a course in the desired language.

3)   Courses at the Language Centre must be organized on a cost-covering basis, i.e., besides having a minimum number of participants, the registered and grouped students must immediately pay the course fees (via payment slips delivered by post or e-mail).

4)   We appeal to your senses of responsibility and fairness regarding your fellow students and the lecturers of the Language Centre: Please consider carefully whether you can realistically join the course, and if the class time fits your timetable. Your deregistration after the formation of a course group could lead to its cancellation on short notice.

5)   The Language Centre cannot guarantee for follow-up courses taking place.
