Elective Courses of the Language Centre

The courses are classified according to the different levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Students who wish to attend a language course on A1 level (a course for beginners) are expected to have a reasonable command of the German language in order to be able to follow the course (for example instructions, grammar explanations et cetera).

Whether you are taking a compulsory or elective language course, its accreditation is regulated in the examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung) of each degree programme.
If you have any questions about the procedure, please get in touch with the Examination board (Prüfungsausschuss) of your degree programme.
We have provided an overview of the courses which currently are accredited, please use the LEA link below to access the list.
