Administration and Service Staff

The Department of Applied Linguistics, in cooperation with the People Management Department, provides Administration and Service Staff members a series of free or reduced cost activities aimed at promoting and improving the use of English and Catalan at the University.

English

25-hour face-to-face courses focused on improving the participants’ speaking and writing skills for academic purposes at three levels (B1, B2 and C1). These courses are free-of-charge and may be taken by PAS and PDI on both campuses.
