Good German language skills are essential for the social integration and career entry of international students.
Many employers attach great importance to you having a basic knowledge of German. Not all colleagues will probably be able to speak English. Therefore, remember to improve your German regularly right from the start of your studies. A good knowledge of German will also help you to get to know the local culture and feel at home both in the region and in the company.
Our FIT-Intensive beginner courses for new international students are held especially before the start of your studies (every september & march).
The Language Center offers suitable courses in German as a foreign language for every language level. There are also job-related language courses.
