7-month course
Requirement: B1
Whenever possible, it is our objective to teach German in an academic context. This is facilitated through authentic learning situations such as lectures, seminars, in the canteen and many more places in which non-native students do not only learn to listen and speak, but also to read and write German. This approach helps to not only understand how German works in an academic context, but also to familiarise international students with the university's structures.
From the very beginning, German will be taught with specific materials connected to the academic context of the university in order to facilitate successful studies at a German university.
Our goal is a successful preparation for the officially recognised DSH-examination („Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang“ – German Language Examination for University Admission). We wish to support university applicants as best as possible and give them a venture point for their successful studies at the Leibniz University.
Each module is completed with a intermediate exam which is necessary to partake in the following modules. Further assessment tests give us the opportunity to place students in the right classes. In the future, these German intensive classes will comprise a complete program from beginner classes to the DSH-examination.
Plan ahead
Please note that learning German up to a C1-level takes some time. To reach a B1-level, you will have studied German for at least half a year. Reaching C1 at the LLC takes 7 months with double the content than B1. Do not underestimate this.
Corona: current situation
From 4 October the 3G rule applies at LUH
From 4 October 2021, the 3G rule must be observed by anyone entering LUH buildings. That means that access is restricted to persons who have been vaccinated or have recovered from a coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as those able to provide a negative test result. Accessing LUH buildings without proof of a negative official test result, proof of vaccination or proof of recovery is considered as trespassing and can be prosecuted.
Your 3G proof must be in German, English, French, Spanish or Italian. Proof of recovery is a positive PCR test that is not older than 180 days. Proof of vaccination is one (for COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen) or two vaccinations (for Comirnaty, Spikevax or Vaxzevria) at least 14 days ago. If you have been vaccinated with other vaccines, you will need proof of a negative test. A negative test is defined as a test carried out by your family doctor or at a testing centre. The test must not be older than 24 hours (rapid test) or 48 hours (PCR test). A self-test at home is not sufficient.
If you are not vaccinated, recovered or tested, you cannot participate in the course!
Participants who cannot attend in person due to special circumstances (e.g. quarantine, delayed entry) have the option of online participation. However, this requires a stable internet connection and the necessary technical equipment (computer/laptop, camera, microphone or better headset).
Upcoming courses
All announced courses will take place, so that registrations are possible on an ongoing basis.
