At the University of Mannheim, exchange students are offered the opportunity to attend a broad range of German language courses. Before the beginning of the semester, preparatory German language courses are organized as part of the International Winter Academy or the International Summer Academy, respectively. More courses on German language and culture are offered during the semester.
Besides attending German language courses, students also have the opportunity to learn other foreign languages. For example, Spanish, Turkish, and Chinese language courses are offered as part of the Studium Generale organized by the Service und Marketing GmbH. Yet, you need to have a good level of German language proficiency in order to be able to participate in these courses because they are taught in German. In order to attend courses offered as part of the Studium Generale you need to complete the online application in time. Please note that you will not receive any ECTS credits for these courses.
