Intensive German B2 course “German language and culture”
As an international student, it is important to quickly acquire sufficient German language skills to be able to network well in the German economy. Companies expect you to have a good level of German. Especially during the short master’s program, this is best done intensively during the lecture-free period. Socio-political aspects will be integrated, including an excursion to a labor market relevant or socio-political actor. This will also provide contact with the German language in everyday situations.
Registration will be possible from April 24th until Mai 17th
