Our intensive, fast-paced German courses are directed towards learners who want to quickly gain comprehensive German knowledge in preparation for studying in Germany.
The 10 modules build on each other and cover the levels A1 - C1. Each module contains approximately 100 teaching units . All modules can be booked separately. A placement test indicates which module a new student can begin with.
Lessons take place from Monday to Friday, either in the morning or in the afternoon. 25 teaching units are covered each week.
During the first 5 modules, candidates gain general knowledge of the German language. By the end of the fifth module, they will have achieved a solid basic command of German at level B1.
Modules 6 to 10 cover levels B1+ - C1 and have an increasingly academic orientation. Participants deepen and expand their knowledge of grammar, their vocabulary and their written and oral communication competencies and get prepared for using the language in university contexts. After successfully completing those 5 additional modules, they will dispose of academic language skills on level C1.
As part of the 10th module, learners will complete focussed preparation for the DSH exam. Candidates who regularly take part in module 10 and need to take the DSH exam will receive a guaranteed place in the next exam. Passing the DSH (or a comparable language test) is an entry requirement for the admission to a German institution of higher education.
Each module costs €420. An additional registration fee of €50 is due upon initial registration. The fee for any subsequent bookings or changes in bookings is €10.
Since our courses are often booked up months in advance, we recommend an early registration, even for subsequent bookings. If a module is fully booked, we would be glad to add you to a waiting list.
