The course targets all students and prospective students who already have German skills at a C1 level and want to take an official examination in order to study at a university in Germany.

Description/content

The scope of the course is up to 28 teaching units of test preparation per week. The course provides intensive preparation for a university entrance exam (for example, TestDaF or Telc C1 Hochschule). The focus is on the skills relevant to the exam: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, academic language structures, and written and oral text production. Participants will have the opportunity to take a university entrance exam at the end of the course.

The language course will be supplemented by an extensive and varied activity programme that consists of working groups in regional and cultural studies that meet in the afternoons as well as activities taking place in the evenings and on the weekends. Furthermore, there are two day trips to museums in well-known towns included in the course price – for example, a visit to the "House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany" in Bonn and to the "LWL-Museum for Art and Culture" in Münster.
