Language Center celebrates 50 years!
This year, Tilburg University Language Center celebrates its 50th anniversary. And as the Dutch saying goes: if it’s your birthday, you treat others!
Every month we organize free fun workshops and activities, including a reprise of our popular Language and Culture Afternoon on 2 November. You can immerse yourself in different languages and cultures and celebrate together that we have been part of Tilburg University since 1973. But during the rest of the year you can participate in various fun activities as well. For example, a workshop Korean or a Language and Culture scavenger hunt during the Night University? Celebrate our 50th anniversary with us so we can make it a true celebration!

We will be adding more workshops and activities to our calendar the upcoming months, so check out our website regularly.
