Course implementation
Update (February 2, 2021): As of today it has been decided to fully teach the spring 2021 Vorkurs Deutsch online (100 %). The reason for this are the stricter entry requirements for international students as well as the need to quarantine upon entering the country.
*As long as there are restrictions due to the Corona pandemic, it’s possible that the placement test will take place online before the start of the course. The Vorkurs participants will be informed about this in time.
