Lancaster University Leipzig is currently gauging interest in the provision of intensive German language courses over the late summer and early autumn of 2026. These courses prepare students for official German language examinations, such as Goethe Zertifikat and Telc, which are accepted worldwide by universities and organizations and follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). All our teachers are native German speakers with university degrees, formal teaching qualifications, and many years’ worth of experience in teaching German as a foreign language across all levels.
The A1 and A2 German language courses listed below lead to the completion of one full CEFR level. The B1 and B2 courses cover the whole range of required topics and structures, but demand additional independent work from participants in order to complete the respective CEFR level. Further support and tutorials will be provided.
The price per course is 750 Euros. This includes 100 teaching units over 5 weeks (1 unit = 50 minutes; 20 units per week; 4 units per day) as well as a copy of the course handbook. The course fee breaks down to the very competitive rate of 7.50 Euros per teaching unit. All summer courses are intended to run from 31 August to 2 October 2026.
For smooth and reliable planning, we would appreciate if you could register by 17 May 2026.
Please note that all language courses will be taking place on campus and in person. A minimum number of 5 students is required for each course to take place.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Barbara Osnowski (Tutor of German: b.osnowski@lancaster.ac.uk) or Dr Philipp Hunnekuhl (Subject Lead Skills & Languages: p.hunnekuhl@lancaster.ac.uk).
We look forward to hearing from you.
