MODE OF LEARNING

Swiss School of Languages offers a combination of in-person training, video lectures, reading material, audio/video tutorials and on-line interaction (e-class rooms) for imparting knowledge. However, it follows a very formal assessment and evaluation system in the same fashion as used in any conventional higher education institution. The school observes the Modular Approach where students master on the level of language and then are assessed for readiness to take on further challenges.

The students have complete flexibility to study at their own convenience, pace, and place. The School offers language skills at all the facilities of Taaleem Foundation as well as Riphah International University. These campuses provide students a great opportunity to participate in academic activities


Highly qualified language experts develop the School’s language training material. The faculty is equipped to educate students from varying backgrounds including those who even have no reading or writing skills. In advanced training courses, students are prepared to take on professional places in language transcriptions, call centers, and business dealings.

Degree Programs

Swiss School of Languages offers a rigorous course of instruction that will prepare you to investigate and understand the complexities of languages. The program has been carefully designed to offer you a rich and complete linguistic education while offering flexibility and opportunities to follow your personal interests.

Being multilingual is not a luxury any longer; it has rather become a necessity, our language learning programs are carefully planned to meet the learning needs of each client. People have a variety of reasons for wanting to learn a language: communicating effectively with colleagues or clients, writing letters, obtaining information, listening to others, or conversing socially.
