Required Language Skills

Specific language skills are required for various teaching subjects in the teacher training programmes and for various courses in the Bachelor’s and Master’s study programmes.

In General

Rules governing required language skills

At JLU, the required language skills for a degree programme or subject are regulated in the special regulations of the degree programmes. This means that the regulations of the individual degree programmes can vary greatly. The exact wording of the respective regulations can be found in the Mitteilungen der Uni Gießen (MUG). (Please note that only the German version of the special regulations is offical and legally binding.)
