Specialised communicative German courses

Specialised communicative German courses as a key qualification for academic studies

Why acquire communicative German skills for academic purposes?

With the university entrance examination, you have already demonstrated very good German language skills at the C1 level.

However, university studies not only require general language proficiency, but also demand further skills related to academic and specialised communication during these studies: extensive technical vocabulary, scientific and subject-related text types and wording, new methods of scientific work, and academic performance, etc.

Studying and progressing in the new cultural environment of Germany, which may well be different from that in the home country, constitute a further challenge for many international students. The subject-specific and culture-related conditions of studying are addressed and jointly mastered in specialised communicative German courses parallel to your degree programme.
