Courses offered during the semester
The German language courses running during the semester ('in-sessional' courses) take place once or twice a week during the lecture period, depending on the course. They teach general as well as specific language skills at proficiency levels that range from beginner to advanced user, equivalent to the Common European Framework reference levels A0 to C1 (CEFR). The courses are designed for students involved in academic exchange programmes (Erasmus+, other exchange programmes), foreign students of all disciplines, guest researchers and visiting scholars as well as their family members. Participants who successfully complete a course can earn ECTS credits or a course certificate (Schein) that meets the requirements for an elective module in their chosen area of study.
Course location
Please note that our General Language Courses and Special Skills Courses - unless otherwise stated - take place as face-to-face/presence classes on the Saarbrücken Campus.
The general courses for ERASMUS students and general courses for doctoral students of the UKS Homburg usually take place as face-to-face/presence classes on the Homburg Campus.
Language proficiency test
A placement test must be passed online by the announced deadline, before admission to the courses. You will receive the link to the placement test after registration.
Please be sure to read before registering:
When you apply, you can indicate a preference for a particular course. We will make every effort to give you a place on your preferred course if you meet the prerequisites. In all other courses that you have selected, we can only offer you a place if you meet the prerequisites and if there are free places. You will be informed of your placement (admission) in the courses by e-mail.
The registration or the writing of the placement test does not guarantee a place.
Please note! If you miss the first session of the course without being excused, you will automatically lose your place in the course! Please send your apologies to deutschkurse(at)isz.uni-saarland.de
