Language Services 2021

The core mission of the Language Centre’s Language Services unit is to provide services that support the University in its role as a bilingual, international and multicultural institution. We provide language and communication training to University staff and doctoral schools as well as language revision and translation services to members of the University community.

Where necessary, Language Services participates in projects and development work related to communication and language training in the University community, the implementation of the University’s language policy or other activities requiring the Language Services’ expertise.

In 2021 Language Services had a full- or part-time staff of 21 teachers, 25 translators, 47 language revisors and four members of administrative staff.
