Content

Digitalisation is one of the most popular buzzwords in higher education at the moment – in fact, we can see it here at the WU as much as anywhere else!

In this Language Lunch, we will discuss what digitalisation is all about, how it affects our daily lives, and how it is perceived at the WU. We will discuss how new words such as these enter a language in the first place, and the session will equip you with the language skills necessary to talk about tech in informal settings. We will also have a more hands-on demonstration to learn some slightly more niche terminology that you may not have encountered elsewhere.

And most importantly: no IT skills necessary!
