Our four-week German classes just before the beginning of the semester will give you a head start into student life at Philipps-Universität:

a young team of teachers will help you find your feet in the new surroundings,
we will make you familiar with German academic conventions,
you will learn to cope, both linguistically and culturally, with important aspects of every-day and academic life in Marburg.

Please note:

These classes are exclusively for students who are coming to Philipps-Universität for their year abroad and for international MA-students! New students take precedence over those already settled in Marburg.
Information about sommer semester 2025 on all semester classes will go online on 1 February 2025.
