Learning German

Learning German
Welcome to the German Language Program!

Learning German or improving language skills already acquired is not only an additional qualification to round off your résumé, but it is the (only) way to gain a deeper insight into German culture, take part in it through the media, and communicate with Germans on and off campus. It enables students to do an internship at a German company, and it paves the way for a professional or academic career in Germany. Speaking and understanding German also makes everyday life easier, more enjoyable, and much more interesting!

The Language and Community Center (LCC) offers German language courses, which are part of the curriculum and provide ECTS credits. The status of the German module for all undergraduate students is mandatory elective, which means you either choose two courses of German or as an alternative two lectures in Humanities.

In addition to the two mandatory elective classes, you may continue to enhance your German language skills at the Language and Community Center and further courses will show on your Transcript of Records.

All German classes are taught according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and a maximum of two courses will be rewarded with 2.5 ECTS.

The Language and Community Center is also an official telc test center. This means that, in addition to the university course and at the end of the proficiency levels A2-C1 the LCC offers eligible students the opportunity to register (Constructor University will cover the costs) for the internationally recognized telc language certificate exams. You can find out what telc is and when the exam dates are here.
