Language courses for international students
Good language skills open up opportunities for you to get to know the country and its people, to successfully design your studies and to build up professional networks. On the other hand a lack of language skills may lead to considerable problems and delays in studies.
Doctoral students, please additionally note the corresponding qualification requirements for graduate schools.
In order to get along well at the University and in everyday life, you should definitely learn German!
