The German intensive language course in March 2026 will take place from 3 to 24 March 2026 (in person on campus!). It consists of a total of 60 lessons (45 minutes each) and offers you varied lessons aimed at systematically improving the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, as well as expanding your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. On the evening of 25 March, there will be a graduation ceremony with the presentation of certificates (included in the course fee).
The language of instruction in the courses is German.
The minimum number of participants per course group is 8, the maximum number of participants is 20.
The courses are aimed at beginners up to the upper intermediate level according to the Levels A1 to B2. Your level is assessed before the start of the course using a placement test. Depending on how many points you score, you will register for one of the following (morning) courses:
| Score | Course title | Teaching units (=UE)
per morning |
|---|
| 0 - 9 points | A1.1
| 4 (60 units in total) |
| 10 - 19 points | A1.2 | 4 (60 units in total) |
| 20 - 29 points | A2.1 | 4 (60 units in total) |

It is also possible to book the course with a supplementary supporting program. Included are excursions within Stuttgart, a full-day trip to Heidelberg (7 March), a welcome party on 2 March, an international evening, a “Communication Skills” seminar (in English), an international evening, and other activities on campus (campus tour, scavenger hunt,...). The course is the ideal way to make great progress in the language in a relatively short time and at the same time get to know Stuttgart and the region better. We look forward to your participation!
At the end of the course you can take a final exam for the respective level. If you successfully participate, the results of this examination will be included in a certificate and you will receive 4 ECTS credits (and if you regularly participate in the supplementary program, you will receive 5 ECTS credits).
Master’s students who are registered for the morning classes can also book the seminar “Communication Skills“ (scheduled for 18 and 20 March from 2:00–5:30 p.m.) at a greatly reduced price of 12.50 euros.
