Intensive Courses
We regret to inform you that we cannot offer new Intensive Courses at this time. We will announce any changes on this website.
Our Intensive Courses take place all year round and make it possible to quickly and easily take your first steps in the German language. Small groups with a maximum of 10 participants are ideal for making rapid progress in German, including the four key skills of listening, reading, writing and – above all – speaking. Course times are each morning from Monday to Friday.
When you join one of our Intensive Courses, you will make rapid progress in small groups alongside other students from all over the world. You can decide how many weeks you want to take part in the course. If you are looking to move up a whole level in the European Framework of Reference, please expect eight weeks each for levels A1 and A2, and ten weeks for each higher level.
Our Intensive Courses normally involve 20 teaching units per week. In small group courses the number of hours varies as follows:
6-10 participants = 20 teaching units per week
3-5 participants = 15 teaching units per week
A teaching unit lasts 45 minutes.
Alongside the language lessons, we also offer a programme of cultural and leisure activities during the summer months to help you get to know more about Göttingen and Germany. These activities can only take place if there are at least 4 students interested in participating.
