Choosing Courses
Courses from the English department
Almost all of the courses of the English department are available for international students. To participate, you need to provide us with a language certificate of at least B2 in English (CEFR), because the courses will be taught entirely in English.
We offer courses in the main areas of linguistics, literature, cultural studies, language practice and language teaching. The current schedule is available from the 1st of August (for the winter term) and from the 1st of March (for the summer term) and changes every semester.
Course List for Summer Term 2025
International students should download the current course list including all relevant information. This list is important because not all courses from the English department are open to exchange students, so check it out to see whether the course you are interested in is available. The course lists will be updated on August 1st (for the winter term) and March 1st (for the summer term).
Courses from other Departments
On the website Marvin, you can find all courses that the Philipps-University offers. You can change the language to English when scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on "Deutsch" on the bottom right. Note that most courses from other departments are conducted in German unless stated otherwise on Marvin. If you want to take a course from another department, please contact the corresponding departmental coordinator first for more information on enrolment.
The department of German Studies and Arts offers special courses for incomings which can be found on their English website.
Courses from the Language Center
Apart from courses at certain departments, you can opt to study another language, be it German, French, Chinese, or many more. Those are offered by the language center.
