The Department of Languages (DL) provides language courses with the purpose of breaking down barriers, bringing cultures together and integrating students into a modern, active and globalized world. Language courses are offered in English, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese and Kichwa. USFQ students can begin studying a language from a beginner's level, validate their previous knowledge of a language, or take an exam to place themselves in the appropriate level. At the end of the intermediate level of any approved language, a certificate of language skills is offered. DL also promotes exchanges between universities with various institutions with which the USFQ has an agreement, and immersion trips.
The DL Department of Languages serves USFQ students and the community at large through the best programs for English as a Second Language (ESL) and other foreign languages.
As core services, DL offers a Language Placement Exam and Approvals for USFQ students. Additionally, it offers services to the community in general, to companies and to executives who require it, always guaranteeing the highest standards of academic excellence and quality.
The Department promotes exchange between universities, through collaboration with the Office of International Programs OPI-USFQ, where students can apply to an exchange for a year or a semester at one of the various institutions with which it has an agreement, breaking down barriers, bringing cultures closer and integrating as people in a modern, active and globalized world.
Every summer, DLE offers immersion programs in different countries where students can put into practice the foreign language studied at the University, increasing their linguistic and cultural knowledge.
Also, DL organizes the Summer Camp, a vacation camp in English for children and young people, where students experience learning in a playful and friendly way, taking advantage of a range of activities ranging from sports to science, thanks to the support of different areas of USFQ.
