A few words on our mission:

Top quality language provision for university students is a necessary condition for the implementation of social ideas promoted by the European Union and it proves indispensable in the global village. Student mobility, competitive job markets, development of pan-European economy and geo-political cohesion all require competent control of English as a contemporary lingua franca. To help students meet these expectations, we are developing  an innovative English teaching methodology with a triple focus on language, content and culture, based on ideas from CLIL, ESP, EAP, distance learning and corpus linguistics. By offering a broad spectrum of academic topics we aim at promoting education for active citizenship while stimulating linguistic and academic development.
