Pre-Sessional German language course
The Pre-Sessional German language course allows you to get to know student life in Osnabrück before the semester starts, while working on your German language skills together with other international students. We cordially invite all international students, doctoral candidates and postdocs who are enrolled for the winter semester 2026/2027 at the Osnabrück University to participate.
The language courses at CEFR levels A1 and A2 focus on all four language competences (reception, production, interaction and mediation) and aim to prepare you linguistically for the most important activities in everyday and university life in Osnabrück. At CEFR levels B1 and B2 you will focus more specifically on language issues and typical situations related to your studies. Each language course comprises 52 teaching units.
The Pre-Sessional German language course will be held from 7th until 25th September 2026.
Language lessons are usually offered between 9 am and 12 pm from Monday to Friday, so that you have time to spend the afternoons exploring the city and its surroundings. As part of our leisure programme, you can expect (among other things) a delicious welcome breakfast, an exciting treasure hunt, speed friending, a pub quiz, an evening with boardgames, as well as pottery painting.
Course organization and credits
All language courses are assessed and graded, and you can receive 6 ECTS credits for your successful participation.
Registration and payment
The registration fee for the Pre-Sessional is € 215.
We will inform you about the registration procedure in due time on this website.
