GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION

Upon arrival, students will be met at the train or airport by our welcome staff.

Orientation includes a walking tour of the town to locate services such as groceries, pharmacies, etc. Students will be provided with a handbook and a student discount card. Every student is assigned an academic advisor to serve as a helpful resource throughout the program.

We believe that comfort and feeling as close to home as possible is very important because learning is so much easier in a safe and friendly environment. We offer our students the choice to live in self contained apartments or carefully selected and experienced host families.

Living with a family is the best way to become fully immersed into the language and culture of your preferred country. All families are chosen after a careful selection procedure and are visited regularly by the Languages PLUS school director, to ensure that high living standards are maintained. All families provide a choice of private or twin bedrooms with access to all living areas in the house.Depending on the destination, we offer a choice of catering, Bed & Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board.

Apartments are located close to or in some cases actually within our school premises. Our apartments offer a choice of private or twin bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, living quarters and a convenient study area.

Residence accommodation may also be available in some locations.

• Meals are included in the price of the program pack age.
• For those living on campus, three meals per day, seven days a week, are provided in the campus café and the dorm is also equipped with a full kitchen and facilities for preparation and storage of food.
• For those living in homestays, the host family will provide two meals each day.

We also feature a scholarship program which offers those students of high academic standing and of financial need the chance to study abroad on a PLUS INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION scholarship.

We offer this program to one student per semester, on a minimum of twenty students enrolled and it includes all tuition and accommodation for the duration of the program.

The transfer and application of academic credit is ultimately decided by the home institution.

To assist in this process, we provide important information such as detailed course descriptions, contact hours, syllabi and recommended credits for individual courses.

At Languages PLUS we also offer you the possibility of taking internationally recognized exams in the language taught in our centers.

Such as DELE, CILS, DELF, BALF Kleines und großes Sprachdiplom.

As a part of programs PLUS INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION plans events that encourage students to embrace the local culture, both past and present.

We also offer an internship program for semester students. The internship is intended to allow students to gain some professional experience and at the same time benefit from learning a language in a work environment.

Students are placed in companies related to their field of expertise and education where they acquire multicultural experience as well as develop a valuable international professional network.
