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.

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.

You will be informed of your placement (admission) in the courses by e-mail.
