Special features of our language courses

If you would like to take a German language course to prepare for your studies, which concludes with the telc Deutsch C1 university examination, you will be placed in the intermediate (M), advanced (O) or exam preparation course after you have passed the placement test and your language level has been determined.

You can conclude a study agreement together with the course agreement that you receive from us. This allows you to enrol as a student of the Ilmenau University of Technology during the preparatory language course and pay the semester fee.

This gives you all the rights of a fellow student and you will receive the Thoska card of the Ilmenau University of Technology during your preliminary studies. This means that you can, for example, eat at reduced prices in the canteen, gain access to the Moodle platform or live in student accommodation.

The individual prices for the respective courses can be found on the course pages*.
