Application for German A1 courses

Who can apply:

  • Online applications without placement are possible only for A1 courses (level A1 and A1.2). Please see  aplacement application and admission  for information about how to apply for German courses on level A2.1 and higher.
  • A1 is appropriate if you have never studied German before. You should apply for A1.2 if you have already finished an A1.1 course or have learned German individually for a while. If you are not sure, please take the A1-A2 placement test.
  • Students, doctoral candidates and employees at the University of Potsdam may apply by filling in the  application form for suitable A1 course on Moodle-EFP . In general, we decide within one or two weeks whether or not you will be admitted to the course and send a confirmation.
  • Doctoral candidates and employees at one of the cooperating academic institutions or research institutions in the Potsdam region may also apply by filling in the application form for suitable A1 course on Moodle-EFP, but will only get admission if places are left after UP members have been enrolled.
  • Guests are welcome to apply and have their names put on a waiting list. Students and employees of the University of Potsdam have priority in the allocation of language course places. Unfortunately, we can only estimate in the second week after the start of the courses whether we can offer guests free places on the courses or not.

 

How to apply?

In general, application is possible as of 1st April (in some semesters already end of March) and 1st October.

Please see the available A1 course schedules in our course catalog (upcoming semester available as of  mid-March / mid-September) and check which A1 courses might be suitable for you. Then fill out the application form for suitable A1 course on Moodle-EFP (after 1st April/1st October) if you would like to apply for one of the basic courses A1 or A1.2.
