Preparatory German Courses
If you have no or insufficient knowledge of German, you can apply for a German intensive course at JLU.
The International Office at JLU offers (fee-based) German intensive courses at all levels for prospective students (as well as for students and staff at the university).
Within a year – or even faster – you can acquire the German language skills necessary for studying a German-taught degree programme at JLU. Applications for a German course are possible at any time; no application deadlines apply.
You can find our current German intensive course schedule here.
