Language Courses

The Campus for Language Proficiency offers language courses especially in the field “German as a Foreign Language” during the study period, or as a preparation for studying at FHWS. In addition to German courses, the Campus for Language Proficiency also offers courses for other languages, including English and Arabic. General language courses for levels A1 to C1 orient themselves on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In addition, terminology-oriented courses, such as German for Engineers, Business German, and English for Academic Writing, can be visited in order to deepen knowledge in the various fields.
For information about current courses, please visit the page of the Campus of Language Proficiency.
