Area of Responsibility 4 Communicative and Linguistic Competence focuses on establishing subject oriented communicative competence, i.e. advanced language acquisition e.g. in scientific writing
The audit committee informatics determined in its meeting on 19th May 2010 that language courses will only be accepted if they are focused on the creation of subject-related communication skills. This refers to the advanced language acquisition, for example in scientific writing. “Pure” language courses can therefore not be accepted.

Area of Responsibility 5 The social effects and ethical aspects of technology and the impact of technology aims to train the sophisticated and controversial discourse regarding the ethical and social impacts of technology development and the deployment of technology.
