This course is a special offer for medical students seeking to study medicine in Germany, but it is also intended for prospective physicians planning to work in German medical facilities.
The specialised course "Technical German for Medicine" can only be chosen in combination with and in addition to the language course "Language and Society in Modern Germany". The specialised course in the afternoon takes up 8 hours per week and the language course in the morning takes up 20 hours per week. Our weekly programme will be complemented by additional offers like seminars on German culture, an international choir, a theatre workshop, film nights, sports, and a literature café. These additional offers amount to at least 12 hours per week.
This course will train you in "Technical German for Medicine", including specific vocabulary for the field of medicine; means of verbal expression for conversations with patients, colleagues, and supervisors; and the layout, organisation, and structure of doctors' letters.
Date of arrival: 2 August between 8 am and 6 pm
The optional parts of the cultural programme (museum visits, excursions) can result in additional costs.
