Tailor-made courses, coaching in English

Our tailor-made English-language courses are designed with your cooperation to ensure that we meet your group’s needs. We organize courses for scientific staff, faculty, research groups, Master’s students, doctoral/PhD students, and logistics and service organization staff. We offer tailor-made courses at all levels, from A0 (complete beginner) to C2+ (native-speaker competence).

The course formats are designed to your specifications. For example, we have run half-day workshops; 15-week courses à 90 minutes a week; and shorter academic/scientific writing courses (typically five half-days), sometimes combined with one-to-one coaching sessions. Classes range from 3 to 15 participants; one-off lectures on specific topics can be offered to considerably larger groups. For more information on prices and types of courses, contact Dr Michelle Norgate, Head of English, at michelle.norgate@sprachen.uzh.ch.

We offer one-to-one English-language coaching in the following areas:

• Academic/scientific writing
• Preparing to give a conference paper
• Professional presentations for management staff
• Pronunciation
• TOEFL and IELTS test preparation
• Email writing for administrative staff (group coaching)
