The Language Center offers a special intensive, year-long German language course for students enrolled in an RWTH International Master program. The course is an integral part of all international Master programs and provides students with the ability to communicate effectively in German both during their period of study in Aachen and later in the workplace after graduation.
Encompassing two intensive phases in September and March as well as regular lessons during the winter and summer semesters, the course program is designed to bring students to the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference inside of a year. Students are obliged to sit the German Language Examination for International Master Program Students (DSM), which takes place three times a year in October, February and July. The examination includes an oral skills component and tests students’ reading, writing and comprehension skills in areas particularly relevant to their course of studies and careers. Students are eligible for an exemption from the DSM if they can show proof of equivalent German knowledge.
