Language courses for MBA / Imperial Business School Students

"I work with British embassies across Europe organising trade fairs and liaising with local suppliers. I get the best deals and the best service by negotiating with people in their own language."

Sylvie Glandier
Head of Marketing, UK Government's Department for International Trade, Brussels

In the world of business language matters. Even if you are only able to communicate a little in the first language of a potential employer or business partner, you are showing the kind of cultural sensitivity and respect that can bring rewards to you and your company.  

At Imperial we have an excellent in-house language teaching centre, the Centre for Languages, Culture and Communication (CLCC). It offers a wide range of global languages, available at different levels, from beginners to advanced, and classes are taught in the evenings, avoiding any clashes with daytime work. 

Most important of all, our courses are taught by human beings, computer apps, so you will interact with your tutors live, either in person at Imperial's South Kensington Campus, or via the internet for online courses. There is no doubt this is the best way to learn a new language.

So make learning another language part of your business masters, professional development or MBA course. As The Economist magazine says, "Speaking more than one language distinguishes the exceptional MBA from the run of the mill."
