20 years UNIcert® at the OTH Amberg-Weiden
20 years ago, in the summer semester of 2002, the first language courses from the UNIcert® language program started at OTH Amberg-Weiden.
Today, we can draw a thoroughly positive balance: Since the summer semester of 2002, a total of 6272 students have taken part in the courses at OTH Amberg-Weiden and 1298 UNIcert® certificates have already been issued for the languages English, Polish, Russian and Czech. Our students benefit from a clearly structured course program with courses that build on each other and acquire a meaningful certificate that transparently documents and attests to the skills they have acquired. The multilingual certificate is recognized by German and, in some cases, foreign universities as proof, e.g. when applying for a place on a master's program, and is a plus point for application documents.
Also in the Corona semester, various language courses from the UNIcert® language program were offered and in the summer semester 2021, a total of 29 students completed their language training with a UNIcert® certificate - congratulations!
