Prof. Dr. Thomas Becker takes over as head of the THI Language Center

THI's Language Center has a new head: Prof. Dr. Thomas Becker, Professor of Digital Automotive Management at THI Business School, took over from Prof. Dr. Bernd Scheed, Dean of THI Business School, in March. "Learning languages gives us a huge advantage in our professional lives and helps us connect with people abroad. It also helps us better understand the cultures and lifestyles of other countries," says Prof. Becker.

For all THI students, the Language Center offers free courses of different levels as well as refresher courses in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese. Foreign students take advantage of courses to improve their German language skills. Courses in intercultural language competence are also very popular. These courses use case studies to highlight cultural differences, e.g. between China and Germany or the USA and Germany, and provide recommendations for action. All language courses are taught predominantly by native speakers.
