German Language Courses

Martin Luther University Halle also has a language center where enrolled students, PhD students, guest students and employees can take a variety of language courses, including courses in Chinese, Italian, English and Russian. These courses usually take place in the mornings and registration takes place on the Stud-IP platform.

These language courses also include courses from beginner to advanced level in which you can learn German as a foreign language.

PhD students can take part in one of the German as a foreign language courses. If you are looking for more information on the full range of courses and current news from the Language Center, you can find it here.

If you are not sure what level of German you have and which course would be suitable for you, you can take the free placement test from Cornelsen online.
