Institute for Intercultural Communication (IIK) Göttingen e.V.
This course targets ERASMUS+ students and partnership students who will study at the University of Göttingen in the 2025/26 winter semester. The course is also open to participants who will not study in Göttingen or who are not participating in an exchange programme ("external participants").
The aim of the international autumn course is to make it easier for international students to settle into the university by offering a language preparation course before the start of the lecture period. Besides the intensive general German lessons (communication in everyday life combined with elements of cultural studies), there will be an extensive programme of extracurricular activities to get to know the town of Göttingen and its surrounding area. The course is also open to participants who aren't studying in Göttingen or who are not participating in an exchange programme.
For this course DAAD university summer course scholarships (usually starting at language level B1) are available. If you wish to apply for this course, you can find all necessary information about the scholarship programme and its application requirements here. To submit your application, please note the reference number HSK-0109. This number can only be used for presence courses. Applying for attending online courses is not possible.
