In our rapidly changing world, previous language teaching practices become outdated overnight, self-education and urther training are essential for professional development. When submitting the application, our primary objective was to more effectively help our target group students acquire the skills required by the labor market with the help of the innovative methods acquired by our instructors during the courses and job shadowing activities. The acquisition of the key competencies of lifelong learning, such as the development of digital, foreign language, cooperation, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, help our students meet the challenges. We pay special attention to our students from remote regions and we want to place great emphasis on the transfer of European values. A new element is learning methods that take students' mental state into account. All these can only be achieved from an international perspective. Another goal of ours is to ensure environmental sustainability, which is why we try to prioritize "green trips".
Our accredited adult education program has been operating at the University of Debrecen since February 6, 2014. Initially accredited for teaching general English, the program has successfully expanded its training range over the years, and we currently offer courses in German, French and Russian. and our offer has been expanded with the technical language of business and tourism, since according to the needs surveys, our adult students’ interests have shifted strongly in the direction of the technical language.

Our main profile is to provide our adult students with a specific knowledge of a foreign language that fully meets the needs and expectations of the labor market.
