As instruments of communication and discovery, languages open a window on the diversity of the human experience.
The Department of Languages provides students the
opportunity to achieve an advanced level of competency in a number of
languages. It introduces them to various cultures, promoting both the
acquisition of knowledge and the development of communication skills
and critical thinking in a creative learning environment.
"One thinks differently in every language, (...) our thinking is modified and newly tinged through the learning of each foreign language, and polyglotism is, apart from its immediate advantages, a direct means of educating the mind by correcting and perfecting our perceptions through the emerging diversity and refinements of concepts. At the same time, polyglotism increases the flexibility of thinking since, through the learning of many languages, the concept increasingly separates itself from the word." - Schopenhauer
