More about us

Over 63 Years of Pas­si­on for the Eng­lish Lan­guage and Cul­tu­re

The Cam­bridge In­sti­tut was foun­ded in 1961 in Mu­nich as Ger­ma­ny's first spe­cia­li­zed Eng­lish lan­guage in­sti­tu­te and an ex­ami­na­ti­on cen­ter for the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cam­bridge. This family-​run busi­ness, now in its se­cond ge­ne­ra­ti­on, is a well-​established in­sti­tu­ti­on not only in the Mu­nich re­gi­on but also far beyond.

The Cam­bridge In­sti­tut began with 100 can­di­da­tes, and today it con­ducts around 6,000 exams every year. Cam­bridge exams are glo­bal­ly re­co­gni­zed and high­ly re­gar­ded by edu­ca­tio­nal in­sti­tu­ti­ons and com­pa­nies as proof of qua­li­fied lan­guage skills.

The in­sti­tu­te keeps up with the times when it comes to the types of exams of­fe­red. While tra­di­tio­nal writ­ten and oral tests will con­ti­nue, on­line tech­no­lo­gies are play­ing an in­cre­a­sing­ly si­gni­fi­cant role in ex­ami­na­ti­ons. The­re­fo­re, the Cam­bridge In­sti­tut Mu­nich also pro­vi­des computer-​based tests. These lan­guage exams can be taken eit­her in a com­pu­ter for­mat at the in­sti­tu­te or con­ve­ni­ent­ly in can­di­da­tes' own homes or at their work­places.

"Durch die Glo­ba­li­sie­rung der Bil­dungs­märk­te und das wach­sen­de An­ge­bot von Fern­stu­di­en­gän­gen wer­den un­ab­hän­gi­ge Prüf­stel­len immer wich­ti­ger", er­klärt Phil­ip Moore, Grün­der des Cam­bridge In­sti­tuts.

Despi­te chan­ges, the phi­lo­so­phy of the Cam­bridge In­sti­tut re­mains the same: the close con­nec­tion bet­ween lan­guage and cul­tu­re. The­re­fo­re, in ad­di­ti­on to subject-​specific Eng­lish cour­ses, the in­sti­tu­te of­fers spe­cial cour­ses in Eng­lish Li­te­ra­tu­re and lec­tu­res on un­der­stan­ding cul­tu­ral to­pics.
