Short Intensive courses
Intensive language courses "German as a foreign language" in March and September
Every March and September, we offer four-week short-term intensive courses. Exchange students (e.g., Erasmus) who wish to prepare for their upcoming study abroad are just as welcome as students regularly enrolled at Saarland University (e.g., students in English-language degree programs) who would like to improve their German during the break between semesters. As in the regular semester courses, the lessons focus on topics that are specifically relevant to the participants’ daily lives, including study-related topics. To participate, students must have fully achieved at least language level A1.1. Beginners are not admitted.
Please note: If you are an Erasmus student at another university, you can apply for a place, but you will initially be placed on the waiting list.

Tandem language exchange programme
