The courses for German as a Foreign Language offered by the Language Centre are open to all members of the Philipps-Universität. They include semester courses at the A1-C1 level and two intensive courses.

Classes preparing for language exams that are needed for the application at a German university like Testdaf or DSH are NOT offered by the Language Center. If you are interested in the DSH exam, please contact the Studienkolleg Mittelhessen.
