3. German Language Courses
The language courses “German as a Foreign Language (Deutsch als Fremdsprache)” offered by the Center of Business Languages and Intercultural Communication are available free of charge to international exchange students.
Intensive German Language Courses
Prior to the beginning of each semester, JKU offers intensive German language courses (beginning, lower intermediate and advanced levels) for exchange students. In the Winter Semester, the course is offered for three weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. In the Summer Semester the course is held two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Students who attend each class meeting and pass the final exam can earn ECTS credits. The three-week course held before the beginning of the Winter Semester is 3 ECTS credits. The two-week course held prior to the Summer Semester is 2 ECTS credits. The course is free of charge.
4. Course Types
Most courses are conducted in units of two semester hours per week (90 minutes). The semester is comprised of 15 weeks. Due to organizational reasons or the nature of the course material, some courses will be held in block form (for example, 3 hours every two weeks or intensive weekends).
These are the most common types of courses:
