The Self-Access Centre (SAC) and the Foreign Language Library (BLE)

Our rooms are still located at the rue Criblet 13, first floor!

The Self-Access Centre offers self-study material and material from course programs to students and personnel of the Fribourg University for individual language study. Lending is not possible. (Opening hours)

The Foreign Language Library is not a lending library: books and journals can normally only be used in the library. In exceptional cases, a loan is possible. In agreement with the library's secretary or the instructors, a maximum of three books may be borrowed over a weekend (Thursday morning to Monday morning).

The rooms of the Self-Access Centre and the Foreign Language Library provide all together about forty workplaces and the following pieces of equipment:
  • Seven personal computers with Internet access, preinstalled self-learning material and the possibility to play CDs and DVDs
  • Portable player-recorders for audio cassettes to train speaking and listening competencies
  • Video workplace

The material available to users includes books, CDs, DVDs, audio and video cassettes, material on specialized language, and supplementary material for courses given by the Language Centre. The languages offered are German, French, English, Italian, as well as Spanish and a selection of about thirty other languages. (Guidelines for users)

With our online search mask you may choose the self-study material adapted to your objectives and come to use it at the Self-Access Centre.
