Language Courses for Incoming Students and Visiting Researchers and Teachers
|
At JLU's International Office we offer German courses at all levels of foreign-language proficiency.
We recommend our International University Summer Course, which covers not only intensive courses for learning or brushing-up your German, but also stimulating workshops and excursions. For 20 years now, Giessen’s Summer Course has been providing visitors, undergraduates, doctoral students, and research fellows from across the world with individual assistance in meeting their language needs. In cooperation with the Giessen–Friedberg Technical University, the German as a Foreign Language section of the International Office offers special intensive courses in the German language for beginners and advanced learners preparing for the DSH and TestDaF examinations. The six-step program takes you gradually from beginners' level to the TestDaF and DSH within one academic year. Each course comprises 20 lessons per week and 6 ECTS Credits. For foreign students who have taken the German Language Examination for Foreign Student Applicants (DSH) but have not yet managed to reach the necessary qualifying standard, we also offer a preparatory course for the DSH (20 hours per week). As well as this, we offer special language courses (4 hours per week, each course with 3 ECTS points) on various levels for students on exchange programs (e.g., ERASMUS, ISEP), for foreign students who have already immatriculated at JLU, and for visiting researchers and their dependants. There is also the Spring Intensive Course in German for Academic Purposes (March) each year for all target groups. This course is free for exchange students (ERASMUS, ISEP etc.; ECTS load of 2 points). Our One-on-One Office (Tandem-Büro) assists you in locating a partner for German conversation.
