Every year, the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences offers summer courses in German as a foreign language. Known as the Aachener Sprachsommer, the courses run for around 4 weeks in July and August and attract hundreds of students from around the globe.

Join the Sprachsommer to improve your language skills through intensive German courses, experience a diverse cultural and recreational programme and get to know Aachen and the surrounding areas on group excursions! Our optional city trips will take you to three European capitals: Amsterdam (Netherlands), Brussels (Belgium) and Paris (France).

In 2020, the Aachener Sprachsommer will take place during the following periods:
6 – 31 July (Accommodation: 5 – 31 July)
