Learning German at the University

Taught in an activity-oriented and interactive fashion in multi-national groups of max. 18 persons, our intensive A1.1 to B2.2 German courses introduce their participants to the German language and culture in a very short time.

The university runs in-semester German language courses for international students and doctoral students enrolled at the University of Bonn, visiting academics and members of the university staff.

The University of Bonn provides language courses for university applicants who wish to prepare for the German Language Proficiency Test for Admission to Higher Education (DSH).

The Section German as a Foreign Language offers language learning support for international students, doctoral students, (visiting) researchers and staff of the University of Bonn. We offer conventional learning support, help with German language self-learning and support in developing suitable learning strategies.

Resources for learning German at your own pace and autonomously are available at the Deutsche Welle. 

Whether in Germany, in your home country or online – the Goethe-Institut is your partner for learning German and taking exams to obtain the respective certifications.
