Each semester the Language Center offers members of the RWTH academic community the opportunity to improve their German language skills in a series of courses aimed at both beginners and advanced students.
This offer also addresses students who enroll in a English Master Program which feature German language courses in their curriculum.
The course levels comply with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The test will determine your current German level so we can offer you an adequate course. Even if you have certificates of other language centers you still have to take a placement test with us. Students with no previous knowledge don't need to write a placement test.
