Language courses for advanced & native speakers

If you're an advanced language learner or native speakers of the language, these advanced short courses offer you the opportunity to develop your knowledge about a topic and a chance to expand on your vocabulary on that topic.

During the course, you'll focus on content knowledge instead of language skills, which means that your level should be advanced but you don't necessarily have to be a native speaker of the language. For native language speakers, the course will allow you to delve into a topic of your interest and learn more about it.
