German language courses
Take part in intensive German language courses
Because most of the lectures are held in german, it would be wise to participate in a german language course. We provide courses especially for you, including a one-month preparatory course, and several intensive courses during the semester (free of charge).
Although you can choose only subects held in english, it would be a good idea to take at least one lecture in german.
More information is available on the sites of the Office of International Relation.
There’s another German course offered by the department of electro technology. If you are a student from the QUT you can also take part for free. If you have problems or questions because of studies or for example your accommodation there will be a person who cares about you for all your residence in Paderborn.
