Full-time German language preparation for programs at CUAS

Highlights: CUAS offers a unique full-time German language preparation course to make students fit to study at any of the Bachelor/Master programs at CUAS which are offered in German. Furthermore, this is an excellent chance for all students from abroad to improve their German language skills efficiently and to help integration into local society. Beginners start their language training in the fall semester of each year and can fully focus on acquiring the necessary German skills to prepare for their respective Bachelor/Master program at CUAS successfully.

Students with prior German knowledge can join the German program later in the year. Each applicant will be given a short level evaluation (orally and written) before it is determined when they would have to join the program. All participants will also receive a certificate and a diploma that proves their language competence and also serves as one possible pre-requisite for non-native German speakers to join a program at CUAS offered in German.
