Languages for specific purposes

In addition to our “classical” language courses, we would also like to draw your attention to our language courses with a specific focus. The requirements in these courses are based on the specific course programme. They will be announced in the first course unit.

Special courses in the summer semester

German and English courses in the field of academic language will be offered for all students, aspiring scientists or anyone interested: The aim of these courses is to teach study-specific skills (“Literacy across the curriculum”), which enable the participants to (linguistically) master the demands of everyday university life. In addition, in the summer semester we offer a course in Business English.
