Important note:
Please check back from time to time to see what’s on offer, as this page is regularly updated. The latest information is also always displayed on the notice boards in the ISZ Saar building (A3 2, next to the AC restaurant) and in the Mensa, which is the university’s main student refectory, as well as on the screens on campus.
Below you will find detailed information on the courses we currently offer (topics, dates and registration modalities).
We are pleased to invite you to participate in these teaching activities and look forward to welcoming you in our courses! If you would like to take part, please register in good time as only a limited number of students can be admitted.
Language of instruction
Our courses are taught in German and English. Students who wish to participate in certain German-language courses must demonstrate proficiency in German (at least level B2 of the CEFRL). In the other German-language courses, however, the teachers can respond flexibly to the language skills of the participants. It is also always possible to switch briefly to English if you have questions or want to sum up what has been said.
Cooperative partners
In order to ensure that we can offer a wide range of courses at a consistently high level of quality, we collaborate closely with various departments and institutions at Saarland University:
- Career Center
- Department of English
- Department of German Language and Literature, Chair of German as a Foreign Language
- Centre for Lifelong Learning and University Didactics (ZelL-ZeSH)
