Preparatory Language Courses

UR offers several preparatory language courses. However, we offer no courses for absolute beginners. Applicants should have accomplished level A2 when they apply for a language course.

Image Auslaendische Studierende Mm _8-klein Our German language courses prepare for a degree programme at UR. Applicants need to fulfil all academic requirements for admission and need to apply officially for a degree programme according to the application requirements.

Detailed information about our German Language courses are available at the department of German as a Foreign Language.

We offer:

Basic course (B1 / B2)

The basic course, along with the supplementary course, is intended for those applicants who do not have the necessary German skills to attend the main DSH course.

The basic course is taught during the semester, while the supplementary course takes place once the lectures are finished. Participants in both basic and supplementary courses need to attend the main DSH course in the following semester before being able to pass the DSH exam.

The basic course is an intensive course (25 hours per week). Ideally both basic and supplementary couses should be taken. However, those students with the appropriate level of German can attend the supplementary course without taking the basic course.

Course fee for basic course: € 500

Supplementary course (B2)

The supplementary course takes place once the lectures are finished. Participants in both basic and supplementary courses need to attend the main DSH course in the following semester before being able to pass the DSH exam.

The supplementary course is an intensive course (25 hours per week). Ideally both basic and supplementary couses should be taken. However, those students with the appropriate level of German can attend the supplementary course without taking the basic course.

You need to pass the final examination at the end of the supplementary course to be able to attend the main DSH course.
