Soft skills courses

In the field of soft skills, the MSM offers various language and other courses in order to complement the program of other units at this university (ABZ, IOSZIM). Each semester, there are Business English Refreshers' Courses and Spanish Courses for Business Students on various levels. In addition, students can attend Excel Courses and other alternating classes. Please see each semester's course list for further information (see summer semester / winter semester).

Shortly before each semester, the deanship's office coordinates a registration process for all soft skills courses at the MSM. Please check the news area or the LSF course catalogue for exact dealines and procedures.

In order to provide as many students as possible with a slot in one of our soft skills courses, each student is limited to one course per semester. In case of free slots, more than one course are possible, of course. Allocation of slots depends on the sequence of registration and student preferences. Course lists will be published in the MSM news area shortly after the registration deadline.

In all MSM soft skills courses, attendance is obligatory if students intend to earn a course certificate.
