Activities & Dates in the winter semester 24/25
The promotion is based on two pillars:
- Promotion of language skills
- Promotion of intercultural competence
It is our goal that our employees
- be able to communicate appropriately in terms of language.
- build up cultural knowledge about their own culture and other cultures and be able to critically reflect on ways of thinking and behaviour.
- be able to implement newly gained knowledge in everyday life.
- be able to deal with potential conflict situations.
Intercultural and foreign language competences
In our international university, everyone is influenced by contacts with people from other cultures. Intercultural communication takes place in everyday professional life. In addition to foreign language skills, this contact requires knowledge and understanding of the countries of origin of our students and colleagues and of our partner countries, of their culture, their history and their traditions.
The SRH takes the importance of this intercultural competence into account through a support programme. It is our concern to support the employees of SRH University with regard to their language skills necessary for the workplace in order to ensure smooth communication in our service-oriented and international institution. However, language skills are necessary to varying degrees in each area of work. For this reason, all levels and every need should be systematically promoted and corresponding further training offers implemented.
Our actions support the internationalisation strategy of the SRH University of Applied Sciences, through which, in accordance with our basic attitude, all members are promoted with regard to their development of professional and sustainable action competence in a national and international context.
