About the intensive courses

Our intensive courses lead within one year in 6 steps from beginner level (A1) through levels A2, B1, B2, C1.1 and C1.2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages to the DSH examination or TestDaF. These language exams serve as proof of language proficiency in order to study at a German university.
The courses comprise 20 teaching units (UE) per week and last 6 - 8 weeks.
It is possible to start at any level.
6 ECTS can be awarded per course.
Here you can find the module descriptions.
